South Shore Axess, Contemporary Bookcase, Standard Brown

I bought two of these bookshelves to replace the desk in my studio apartment. They sit side by side, flush, and they look like one solid unit. I have different storage bins and baskets on the shelves to hold all of my items in a clean, fashionable way. Even though the pieces are not made from real wood, the bookshelves still look great and do look like real wood. The chocolate is a rich, dark, dark brown, much more like typical expresso-colored furniture. They're also amazingly easy to put together. Took about 30 min for each one. The instructions and illustrations are very clear, and assembly only requires a philips screwdriver and hammer. My apartment is carpeted, and I'm not putting anything ridiculously heavy on the shelves and I don't have children, so I did not use the security bracket to tether it to my wall, but it does come with one. Overall great purchase, I'm very happy with how they turned out.
