We needed shelves for a small space and this fit the bill.  (This is a small ladder, so check the dimensions.)  One star off because for the price, I would have liked the quality to be better, but we are happy with the shelves overall - look nice and seem sturdy.  As another reviewer noted, each shelf is fairly small if you are thinking about putting baskets on them.  We bought two sets of the Fenton Sea Grass 3 Piece Storage Basket Set, and the smaller baskets fit on the bigger three shelves (and we used the two extra baskets for closet storage).
