It was a little hard during assembly when the pieces meant to hold up the shelves would come unclipped and fall off, dropping the shelves, but once those were all securely applied, the shelves stayed on and are able to hold a lot of stuff! It's not very tall, but it's exactly what I needed to add some storage space to my small kitchen. I think the open shelves prevent the piece from feeling too bulky and making my already small kitchen feel even smaller. I have my microwave, toaster, and coffee pot all on the bamboo shelf - plenty of space! The delivery was on time, and this is really a very good price for a baker's rack. I'm really happy with this purchase and look forward to ordering from Wayfair again.
