This shelf fit the dimensions I was looking for (although I did wish there was an option to purchase an additional shelf to put in, as I’m using it for shoes). I had high hopes that this would be a simple assembly, since I had recently completed a much more complex drawer unit. The instructions are about 95 pictures rather than words. The cam locks, once turned, hold in the opposing peg but not the board somehow. Useless. The second time I attempted, I was nearly done and it crashed down and bruised my toe. Finally at the third attempt I got out the glue. Even with glue this trash item is so wobbly. The only hope is that I’ll be building baseboard around the bottom and definitely anchoring the top to the wall. I didn’t feel like the hassle of returning, but would NOT purchase this with the hope putting books on it.
