These shelves are sturdy and a very lovely shade of blue! The color really pops and the installation instructions were fairly clear. My biggest criticism is that the shelves are a pretty thin particle board without any finishing (rough edges) so I fear the longevity of the shelves themselves, particular if storing in a wet or damp place. Since I’m using them to display plants, I’ll have to be very careful about not getting the particle board wet. I think adding even half an inch of thickness would help with this, or some sort of paint or primer finish. Overall tho, they’ve been up about a week and I’m happy with how they look!
