This shelf is so pretty, a little smaller than I thought it would be even knowing the specifications beforehand, but it's still pretty perfect for my children's playroom. Not too difficult to put together, though it would be nice if the instructions had some kind of written directions instead of small and difficult to make out pictures. The product itself is wonderful, and the wood appears to actually be sturdy and well made, not cheap particle board so I think it will hold up well over time. Yay!
