I picked this shelf to hold my plants. I left the top shelf off to make room for some of my taller plants. I’m so pleased, and plan on ordering a 2nd shelf shortly! The shelf was easy to assemble. It arrived quickly. It’s very sturdy. It offers a ton of storage space. It’s also very cute  I like the way it looks in my plant room! If you’re in the market for a quality shelf for a decent price, I highly recommend this one!!!
