Not counting the three separate book shelves, the bookcase consists of three parts: 1) the top part (3 boards - left, right, and top), 2) the middle shelf that extends to the very edge of the left and right sides of the top part and is the main support for the sides, and 3) the bottom part (3 boards - left, right, and bottom).Securing the middle shelf to the top section by using the cams is crucial to supporting the entire bookcase

and I come home from work this evening to find the thing broke apart and my books all over the floor

Drilled it into the wall and each self holds more than a couple sturdy books with more lightweight decorative accents

Good book case

It serves the purpose of what we were looking for which was a inexpensive book shelf to hold my husbands comic book collection.

Nice book case for the price.

The bookcase looks like a solid book case in the picture

I wish I could find decent book shelves for less than an arm and a leg!!
