I really like these shelves.  I only needed one (see picture) to gather knickknacks.  So it would have been nice to be able to purchase just one.  However, I did find a use for the 2nd shelf (see second picture) to help organize my daughter's cat collection.  Four stars because they came still slightly damp with stain!  I unboxed them and left them in the garage for a week to off-gas and dry.  All fine.  Obviously, no finish shellac, which is not a horrible thing as the wood is pretty & if you ever got the urge to paint them...
