Not as good of quality as I had hope, but will serve the purpose for which I needed it.  Not very eye appealing, so would suffice for hidden storage.  Books with a shelf depth of greater than 7 inches will not fit,  I purchased this unit to sit beside my desk to hold binders as I am in graduate school and have lots of notes in large binders that I needed to have at easy access, and wanted them off the floor beside my desk.  I had to leave all the back bars off except the top one in order to use it as I need too.  Would be good for dorm room maybe, but not for your studio apartment of family home.  Sorry  :o(
