The shelf looks ok once it is together.  There are a few issues. 1) The instructions for putting the shelf together are not in an order that will actually allow you to properly screw the top shelf on using standard tools.  2) Glue is specified for the dowels but is not provided. 3) The dowel holes were too large of a diameter for the dowels provided (used to connect the top to the bottom half along with screws). 4) The paint/stain was not applied evenly to some of the corners of the shelves and cross bars leaving untreated wood showing. 5) The hardware used was low quality and hard to attach.  Overall was not what I was expecting for the price.
