I was wanting something to display my wedding album and other things in my "diva den".  I liked the price and bought it figuring if it did not compliment the room, I could put it somewhere else.  After dressing it up with my album and other things, it fits my room perfectly. I am thinking of purchasing 2- 3 tiers more to make it taller. It stands a little over 4.5 feet and sits very well on my carpet.  My husband said it was very simple to put together. It took less than 10 minutes. Would definitely buy again.
