I always considered IKEA quality flat pack furniture. (Or "what I wished the Walmart/Target flat pack was") It's as advertised, pretty straight and not too hard to assemble. But it is still (usually MDF) flat pack furniture.
I've gotten some damn good flat pack stuff before, but flat pack bookshelves seem to be universally dogshit. As mentioned before, the only lateral stability is a thin cardboard backing nailed into the frame. My gf tried to slide a(n overloaded) shelf to the side and the nails ripped through the cardboard and she barely managed to keep it from collapsing while I removed all the books.
