Shelf looks gorgeous and sturdy and true to the pictures, which is why Im giving it five stars. JUST PAY ATTENTION to the instructions, like other reviews mentioned. The pictures are small and the details are important (check carefully that the holes in the pieces are aligned exactly like the pictures, and that the metal brackets are screwed on to the first set of shelves correctly, with two holes overhanging the edge of the shelf. You need that overhang later to attach the other set of shelves). Its easy to miss a detail and need to disassemble  reassemble part way through. Luckily its not a long assembly process, so more annoying than problematic.

The finished product is excellent and I highly recommend the shelf, even if the quality of the instructions should be better. Will definitely be buying other pieces from this set.
