The shelf was in good shape upon arrival.  It matched the specs that were listed online but there were two things that still left me disappointed.  I went with this unit on wayfair because the wood looked more like wood in the photos initially advertised.  For a fraction of the price I could get the alternative where the wood looked more like a picture of wood… but that is what this turned out to be - it’s not very wood-like.  It has a grey-ish laminate look to it.  The other thing that left me less than excited was the height between shelves.  I believe it is as advertised but I was disappointed to find that most of my plants in 4-5” pots were too tall to fit on the shelf - even the vining plants had too much height or volume to fit nicely on the shelves.  Their photos must have had little baby plants.  Otherwise it does what it says the shelf will do.
