I bought two about a month ago for my office. I have a lot of books and wanted a stylish shelf system for theoffice. These shelves are stylish and sturdy. However, it says made of real wood, which the shelves are, but they are a hollow box I believe. Not solid wood shelves. Even though this is the case they are still strong and can hold all of my heavy books. The shelves look like the picture on the website. They wobble just a little bit because the base is the same size as the whole unit, but they include a wall mount kit. The instructions are easy and assembly is easy. I recommend these shelves. Included is a picture of the office in progress... please excuse the mess.
