A very solid shelf. I thought we would have to attach to back wall but it was sturdy enough we did not need to. Love that it can go up or on its side. I painted the wall behind it a dark color and it makes the white shelf stand out even more. Took a bit of time to assemble but no issues. Very happy with free shipping to my door, buying from a store would have been difficult to get home. My only issue is finding the right things to go on each shelf since the compartments are so varied.
