Cut and scratched myself multiple times on the metal parts of this.  The shelves themselves are okay  but I would not suggest using them for frequently used items.  Both my husband I and I have scraped and scratched our hands on these shelves, a couple times drawing blood.  We ordered 6 of these for our new home while we look for more permanent furniture and have nicked ourselves on all of them so it does not seem to be a one-off.  Would not buy these again
