I needed a reasonably priced fascinating set of "corner shelf" shelving - and this is the best I found - and it matched some of my moderately dark wood furniture.  When I got it - I decided to paint it white (do not try this with latex artist paint) - and to use it instead on either side of a piece I am weaving for my "art gallery den art work space".  Which has otherwise - almost all artwork purchased from Wayfair.  I am going to place either "sea glass" or colored glass cullet rocks or stained glass samples on it - though I've seen some beautiful art glass votive candle holders.  I'll have to repaint it with the same color as I painted my walls (a creamy white).  As I get "natural sunlight" through a large window - this is "a wonderful find and purchase" !
