We love these shelves! We bought two to go with this desk. The finish is beautiful and very smooth. They look modern, high quality, and sturdy. If you are worried about ordering these online, don't be! Do it!  The boxes are huge and filled with Styrofoam so be prepared for trash! The assembly was a bit tricky at first to find the best way for us (on the side, on its' back, etc.) but then it was a breeze. The first one took us maybe an hour.  All the parts are well labeled and instructions and thorough. Plus it comes with extra pieces. We had one screw that was bad, may have been our fault, but with 2 extras we were fine.  Love this! Looks gorgeous, modern and unique!
