I used this shelf to store toys and books for my toddler. It's sturdy and looks nice in my family room. My 2 complaints are:
1. The top piece does not fully attach to the shelf leaving a small gap (I've read another reviewer mentioned the same issue). This is a small issue since it's hidden unless you bend down to see it.
2. One of the dividing shelf does not fit into the compartment. I will have to either sandpaper or saw the corner a little to make it fit. For now, I just do without
