I bought this to put in the hall that leads to our bedrooms.  It perfect because it doesn't stick was out.  An no one has bumped into it in the middle of night.  It's well made and not made out of light weight pressed cardboard like other shelves I've looked at, and then passed by.  This is heavy, well constructed, and a good useable piece of furniture that you can put your things in, and not worry about the shelf falling off the wall, and breaking your things.  I'd buy it again.
