I bought this alongside the 17 Stories Writing desk. It looks great right new to it and is the perfect height. I work from home so I use it to store all of my product samples, sales materials, and my printer. I have the printer on the second shelf and baskets filled with everything else on all the rest of the shelves. It seems sturdy enough (definitely not the most sturdy as it shakes while my printer is going) but it does the trick! This also took me 90 min to put together by myself with a mini-tool kit. It was very easy to do! I highly recommend this plus the desk for anyone in need of a desk and bookshelf in a small space! Everything shipped really fast too!!
