We bought 2 these to place side-by-side for my daughter's small bedroom. The shallow shelves are perfect for keeping her room looking larger and this not taking up much space. However, when purchasing two or more, be aware that these shelves will not line up perfectly with the next unit. The measure must be just a little off. 
Also, some of the shelves had time chips in the veneer already out of the box. This could be due to the packaging - they use clear packing tape and tape all the pieces together for shipment. I still have some areas I need to get the residue with goo-gone. To be honest, good shelf. Exactly what we needed with the height AND shallow shelves... just too pricey for the quality.
