This shelf has far and beyond met my expectations. I am using it for storage for all the random things that end up on my dresser in my bedroom. It's very lightweight so I wouldn't recommend putting alot of heavy items in it. The detail in the lock on the door is so cute and handy, my kids can't figure it out which is a good thing. Installation was a breeze. You need a level, tape measure and a drill. I look forward to enjoying this for years to come.
