This piece is very easy to put together and suits my needs exactly. It was difficult to find low open shelving to go under the windows in my nursery but this fits perfectly when placed on its side. I left the top three shelves open for books and the bottom three fit the fabric Circo drawers from Target perfectly, so those three have space for toys in the bins. It is not anything fancy but it suits my needs well. The only odd thing I that the finish is slightly metallic but you can't see it unless you are looking very closely. I would definitely recommend this for inexpensive and versatile shelving.
