I bought two of the 24” shelves and will be returning them. The aged oak color is much warmer than it appears in the photos.  The finish is also extremely rough which wasn’t clear in the photos. I ran my hand across the top of the shelf and got a splinter. You’d never be able to dust these without a cloth getting snagged. If the top and bottom was as smooth as the front edge I think they’d be much more useable. They are very heavy and sturdy and seem well made, however.
