It was really hard to find a corner shelf made of wood that would fit in our living room and am so glad I found this piece! It took a few hours for one person to put together but it's really well built. It sits flat on the floor and the shelves are all straight. The color matched our living room furniture better than we hoped. It's 6 feet tall and I was worried it would look short in our room with 10 feet ceilings but I put a nice plant on top to add height and it looks great!
