I ordered this shelf to hold our homeschool supplies.  I needed a large shelf because we have many children. This shelf arrived exactly as pictured. It was easy to put together however you need to make sure whatever you do to the left side you also due to the right side. There is a great deal of adjustment on the shelf and it is easy to make one side higher than the other if you aren’t paying attention. Once assembled the shelf was very stable and is easy to organize. I love that the corner pieces hold the books on the shelf.    Shelf has many options for heights of individual shelves. It is very sturdy and not tippy.
