These shelves are horrible and not as depicted. First of all, they are horrible to put together. I had to use a mallet to bang them into place and once I had to do that the paint chipped off every where. Second the MDF boards are super flimsy and cheap. Not sure if I am gonna be able to add much weight at all, and third! I bought the double wide unit...I thought it was supposed to be one unit, it came I. Two separate units. Very misleading junk. I would have returned these if I didn’t need them so much. Look elsewhere and don’t waste you time and money. By the way this is the first bad review I have ever made.
