This was exactly what I was looking for.  I wanted a bookshelf that also served as a hallway table.  This is a perfect size, not too deep so it does not protrude into the hallway too much.  The color is beautiful.  Four shelves hold my two-year-old son's books, some are large and some small.  They were originally in baskets that were taking over our apartment (he has a lot of books).  Amazingly, they all fit in those four shelves and he can easily take them off and put them back.  I have the other two shelves for myself and again, the shelves amazingly hold a lot of books.
