Shelves arrived in perfect shape -- no damage.  Made of real wood, no particle board.  The slate at the top and the rippled/wavy glass is wonderful, as well as the distressed oak color..  I had never bought furniture via the internet before and was not very comfortable doing it.  I like to see and touch the furniture to look at the quality.  However, after walking through several furniture stores looking for shelves and finding nothing that I liked -- I decided to try wayfair.com and take a chance.  It was everything I hoped for and I was NOT disappointed.  Perfect for my kitchen and it now holds my cookbooks and canister set.

Pros: Solid wood, slate inlays, rippled glass, oak color, ease of assembly (only had to assemble the legs and put the knobs on the doors.
Cons: Wish it was just a little taller (6 inches, maybe).
