I really, really like this shelf - it's sturdy, looks nice, and was easy to assemble. The problem is the way in which it's packaged and shipped. The box is long (the length of the upright parts of the unit) and somewhere around 90 lbs. It's supposed to be carried by two people, but FedEx and UPS (in my area at least) almost never have two people on a truck, so it ends up being dragged and leaned and squished and tossed all around by the time it gets delivered. The first unit we received, all of the long upright parts were cracked in half. I knew as soon as I saw the box because there was a fold line somewhere around the middle. Wayfair was EXCELLENT about sending a replacement, which thankfully arrived in one piece, but I feel like that was luck because the packaging is seriously lacking in support to prevent damage. Bottom line: nice unit, good price, looks great, but it's a gamble whether it'll arrive undamaged.
