I really like this shelf it mad a nice addition to our kitchen as a plant stand.  The upper shelfs work well for the plants that need more light and the lower for the shaded plants.  Many plant stands were not tall enough for our window in the kitchen to achieve the light balance we were looking for.  My only complaint is that there are notches in the wood and holes drilled where there aren't shelves if assembled per the directions.  I believe this is so the shelves could be moved however I think that moving the shelves would make the structure less strong (just my observation).  It makes the shelf look unfinished, however only noticeable up close.
