When I ordered this item I realized that I might be out of town when it was being delivered so I reached out to the vendor to confirm delivery. They were super quick to respond and communicated with me until the item was delivered, which was earlier than originally promised.I recommend two people to put it together, and maybe it could be a bit sturdier, but once you get stuff on the shelves it is a solid piece.Love the taller shelf height. All of our other bookshelves are smaller shelves so this Gabe is a chance to put more fun stuff up.
