I really love this shelf. The quality is pretty good, and unlike a lot of comments on this site, there were no major defects in any of the pieces. It's pretty stable and I love the modern look. I shopped quite a bit before I decided on this one and looked at all the reviews for similar shelves at various sites. Oddly, the delivery of the two boxes was days apart with no clear indication first, that there were two boxes, and second, that they would not be delivered together. The directions were pretty easy to follow. I'm happy with this product and would recommend.
