I should have known by the price that the construction would not be ideal. Overall, it's a very cheap shelving unit. It looks decent from a distance, but up close it's clear that the tube frames are bare plastic and the veneer on the shelves is not very convincing. I'm also concerned about placing too much weight on top of it for fear that it may tip over. If you're looking for something to display anything breakable, I would reconsider. This unit is somewhat wobbly on carpet, and not much better on a hardwood floor. I would have given it two stars but I went with three because it's at least affordable.
