I put these shelves in my bedroom.  I was suprised at how heavy duty they seem, but that's a good thing.  They look really nice on my wall and I was thinking about getting another set.  I decided on the white wash color because i thought that would go best but I was a little disappointed that the shelves are not as white as I'd like, but they'll do.  Set up was pretty easy, I did it myself without any issues.  Nice sturdy shelves!
