I saw these and thought of old vintage library book stands. I snagged two. Easy to assemble. Very heavy and solid. BUT....so small. These really should NOT be advertised under living room furniture as these are hobbit, little child sized. Should be under kids furniture. The pictures are deceiving. They show them in a living room and it wasn't until I went back and looked again that I noticed the chair in the background and the baseboards, that help you gauge the size of these minion bookshelves. I almost returned them until I noticed it would cost ME $79.50 to return these. So I am stuck with them and will have to tweak them somehow to look "bigger".
