These Williston Forge shelves are perfect for the kitchen.  They were relatively easy to install, and fully support the dishes and glasses I placed on them.  The only criticism is that the wooden shelves are bowed, so it was hard to line up the end of one with the end of another.  However, the minor difference where the ends meet does not detract at all from the overall look or my ability to place drinking glasses on the shelves.  The different colors in the wood made them tie in nicely with the other wood colors I have in the kitchen.
