Spend a little more at your local big box, or pick up Zinus' very well designed flat-pack furniture (such as Zinus Modern Studio Collection 3-Shelf Multipurpose Bookcase), which is a little more expensive but a leap and bound ahead in durability and aesthetics

Very nice, inexpensive bookcase that is easy to assemble
