Advantages: looks good and stores a lot

Disadvantages: so hard to put together

This is the most difficult bit of furniture I have had to put together in my huge latest purchase from argos as I am furnishing my new flat.

I have a lot of dvds, cds and books and so needed a large bookcase. In my previous flat there was a dark version of this and it was very sturdy and hard wearing so I thought I would buy my own.

This bookcase cost around £60 and the delivery was £8.95 as part of a larger order.

I am usually fine putting together flat pack furniture and have a tool kit at my disposal. However this was the hardest thing I have had to put together. None of the screws fitted even when I used the drill, so I had to make the drill holes wider and then put the screws in using the drill.

Also as its such a large piece of furniture I had to get my friend round to hold bits together. The shelve parts themselves are heavy and its impossible to keep them in the right place whilst you have a drill in one hand.

It took up so much space putting it together and when I needed to turn it around it took forever and was very heavy. If I was to buy a piece of furniture like this again I would try and get one that was ready made as for a small lady this was near impossible and I was very tempted to pack it up again and return it. However now its all together it looks great and is large enough to store all my junk in one area.

Only buy this if there are a few of you and you are strong!

Summary: It does look nice now
