Yep, I use this shelf for my recipe books I haven't been able to get to and now I can.....no problem though....I put it in my dining area where it's available all the time.  I usually watch the cooking shows but there is nothing comparable to looking at a book of recipes.  Enjoy for whatever you use it for....nice insofar not too large or tall or wide...perfect.....just like Wayfair!  Oh, my!  LOL!
