We bought two these shelves and are very happy with the finished product. Beautiful, ashy, light color looks great against our neutral, walls. They are sturdy and solid feeling--despite being composite wood. I was expecting the headache we've had in the past deciphering directions, parts, and hardware--I could even sense the hesitation in my partner when I insisted on assembling them myself. Each piece and hardware was clearly labeled to correspond with the directions. Once I started with the first piece, it was straightforward--the second set of shelves was a breeze. 

We only wish these were folding shelves, like similar shelves we own. They also did not arrive together, which was an inconvenience since we had to make two trips to pickup from the local Fed Ex.


Pros: Great price and value!
Cons: Shelves not tall enough for tall items such as albums
