This is a cute, cheap little shelf. It's exactly what I needed for a little under-the-desk organization in my classroom. With that said, it is made using very fragile particle board. The nails provided to attach the backing were impossible to attach without busting large chunks out of the side panels. I ended up trying 3 nails, all to similar effect, before trying a staple gun. The staple gun was a much better solution. I also take issue with the fact that the screw heads show. It gives the piece an unfinished look that could have been easily remedied. You get what you pay for.... Even with the already low price tag, I'm glad I got this on sale.
