This shelving unit was the perfect size for the laundry room. Easy to put together...in the very early stages it is helpful to have 2 people to "balance" until the first side struts are in place. Assembly took less than an hour. I really don't mind the industrial look for the laundry room. Function,space saving and weight capacity of the shelves were my main focus. This unit had all of those functions in mind. This shelving unit will serve us well for a long time.
