Really nice shelves for small spaces or areas where you have limited space. I used these in a small den to put small decorative figurines and a few books. The instructions were fairly straightforward. I'm terrible at putting things together but this wasn't too complicated. You just have to make each shelf is secure against the wall and it'll hold up as long you don't put anything too heavy on them. I like the kind of "floating" look as opposed to a regular shelf. Good minimalist home item.
