I bought this to go in my daughter's nursery. It looks nice for the most part. The backing is cardboard and it comes folded. When you unfold it, it doesn't quite lay flat so you can see the seams where it is folded, even after you nail it to the back. Also, we want to anchor this to the wall for safety reasons, but there isn't much solid wood to work with to mount the safety straps to. It made the anchoring very difficult (but we still managed it). I like that we have the ability to move the position of the shelves quite easily. Also the height is nice for a child's room because it isn't too tall.
