good quality but i think i would have gone for the X ended one if i had to order again - this was smaller than i expected (i didnt look too closely at the measurements), came well wrapped, fed ex carried it up 2 flights of stairs to my door. it is a bit wobbly. it was easy to put together. i think it is better for lighter nick knacks, wouldnt recommend for books. for the price, i just expected it to be bigger - i ordered a 2nd set of shelves and didnt get this one.
