I needed a small shelf for my bedroom to put my jewelry box & perfumes, (my TV takes up dresser space) & it fit perfectly in a corner next to my dresser. I didnt want anything fancy or crazy but also nothing to boring....this shelf is awesome, very easy to put together & is sturdy. I thought it wouldnt stand well on carpeting, probably keep falling, I've had it for a couple of weeks now & still standing, vacuum next to it never fell over. Glad I purchased this shelf
