I bought this shelf for my 5 year old daughter because of the positive reviews. The shelf is sturdy and cute. I gave it two stars because it was impossible to assemble. There are 18 main 2.25" screws to hold the shelf together. The screw holes going into the selves are barely drilled. Spent an hour screwing the thing together and it took super human effort. Also, there were a couple of scratches on the pink shelves when I opened the box. I wonder how long till it's covered in scratches because the paint doesn't seem durable.
