I think this is a great shelf. It looks great and if viewed from the side, it allows natural light and a view of the items on the shelf. I do wish the shelves were a little bit easier to install. 

I had to loosen one of the connections on one of the shelves because the hole wasn't lining up properly at the glass. It was off by about half a cm. I was concerned the screw would chip or crack the glass if I were to force the screw to meet the shelf. Other than that, there weren't too many difficulties assembling the shelf.
