Other customers said the holes didn’t align and you couldn’t move it by yourself, but I didn’t find that to be true. It’s a little hard to move by yourself, but not impossible, especially if your surface is carpeted and you can tilt it for leverage. The diagram might make it look like you’re building it backwards, but trust it and it will come out right. Was able to install all the shelves and screws with just the included tools and my fingers. Everything was well organized and separated in the packaging, so it helped with the assembly process. Overall footprint in the room was small/minimal, while still holding a lot of books. I ended up using rocks/crystals as bookends for the open-ended sides. This bookcase was beautiful, grey wood/black metal colors exactly as shown in the picture, and well worth the $160.
