We bought this for our 6 yr old’s bedroom to hold toys. It’s sturdy and made well. Easy to assemble. The “wood” is particle board but sturdy and well made, considering. The metal framing is strong and not flimsy or bendy. I do think it’s a little expensive for a particle board and metal piece of furniture but it will do the job so I’m looking past that and not taking off any stars for price point. I will say that the picture makes the metal framing appear navy blue which is actually why I bought it. The description didn’t say either way and I assumed it was blue. I guess the lighting gives it a blue tint in the listing photo but it is in fact black. I should have inquired before buying but I’m not any less happy with it. It’s a great shelf and we’re waiting for them to be in stock again so we can buy a 2nd one for our 4 yr old’s room.
