Exactly what I was looking for. I compared several options, and chose this one because it has metal structure for the frame instead of more MDF. Assembly was quick and easy to do on my own, and it feels sturdy and looks great. Yes, the shelves are fake veneer wood, and one of mine had a little chip out of it already, but the overall look and steadiness of this structure is fantastic for the price. Realistically, an open shelving unit like this is going to look as good as you style it, and these are a great canvas to start from.
