Overall decent purchase. I feel that shelves are good value for what they are. They came quickly and are easy to assemble. I like that they are narrow and can be stacked next to one another to make a custom length. I'm thinking about buying a third. I was surprised by how shallow the shelves are - my fault - I didn't read the dimensions. They are shallow but fit pocketbooks and novels. Unfortunately, some of my large format books aren't able to fit. Despite that, the shallow shelf saves space and looks handsome. It's a trade-off. Another annoyance is that you can't set the shelves so the space between all of the shelves is even. For those who prefer symmetry - this shelf is not for you.
