I LOVE THESE SHELVES! I put these in my office which is blue and butterfly themed. I'll be putting contact paper on the wood shelves when it arrives. Although these have an industrial design, they are only the size of a bookcase. The blue is perfect and the open back allows me to put my printers, scanner, and digital turntable on these shelves with no worries about the cables. They were very easy to put together, too. The instructions suggest having a second person help, but I'm over 55 with arthritis and was able to do it myself. These are even better than I hoped and I strongly recommend this shelf unit.
