The product is what I had expected, the size and style work well with my decor. The assembly could have run smoother if the shelving had been marked, "this side up, or this side down", or "assemble with magnet holes to the front, or assemble with magnet holes to the back" during initial assembly. With a following step of inverting the whole stand, there was some difficulty with the direction of the shelving. After 3 tries, I did assemble the stand. Also, one of the plastic rings inset in the wood was bent down and the screw would not insert. I had to pry it back with a tiny screwdriver before the screw would turn in the hole. Suggestion would be to make those plastic rings out of metal for better durability and to avoid the complication I ran into. Before recommending this product to a friend, I want to actually use it for a while to see how it holds up and then give my opinion for a more accurate rating.
