I LOVE these bookshelves and would have given them a 5 star if they aligned a little better. From a distance, they are magnificent. Up close, you’ll notice some imperfections, and the screw holes had to be covered with white stickers so they wouldn’t be so noticeable, but they definitely add some geometrical beauty to my living room. They are the first thing everyone notices when they enter my home. My husband built a shelf and mounted them to the wall so my kids wouldn’t climb them. They’re heavy, but, mounted correctly, they’re very sturdy. Eventually, I’ll put the other one on the other side of the fireplace and finally have a permanent home for all of my books. Despite their flaws, these are my favorite things in my house.
