I think this is a beautiful display self. The instructions are easy to understand and straight forward so was easy to put together.  The rack itself is a nice brass color and the marble inserts look like real marble when put together. The rack is metal so is a very sturdy to display on. There are adjustable feet so makes it very easy to be level. I love the modern design of the shelves so it looks great! This is a tall self so you will have lots if room to add things for display.
