We bought this shelf to be used in our small conference room to add a little style to that room. For the price it was just as I expected it would be. I screwed it all together first and then attached to the wall. IT IS VERY WOBBLY UNTIL IT GETS SCREWED TO THE WALL. So if you install it the same way, be careful. Too much movement at the wood will crack or break. Once the shelf is assembled and stood up the way it will go on the wall, it is less wobbly.
