This was a good purchase, and I am really happy with it overall. It was pretty easy to set up, and seems sturdy upon finishing. It looks very nice, and more expensive than it was. I would have given it 5 stars, but one of the sides had a nick in it so the black finish had been chipped off. Normally I would have returned it for a new one, but that seemed like a huge hassle given the size and weight of the box it came in. I ended up using a black permanent marker to cover it up and that worked quite well given the size and placement of the chip. I am still happy and would recommend this shelf to others.
