I bought this shelf to be in the corner of my apartment. Overall it's a good shelf: nice color, good height and good number of shelves. I gave it three starts because one of the shelves came with a hairline crack on it and on carpet the shelf isn't very stable - I had to have it anchored to the wall so that it didn't tilt forward (the shelf didn't come with any anchors). But again, it's a good shelf overall.
