This is the perfect ladder book case (we got it in gray) for an odd space near our kitchen door way. It went together quite easily and is a perfect color to compliment our grey herringbone sectional and the rug we purchase here too (see my other review). We are updating our main living space to a modern farmhouse casual living look in greys and blues and this give me much needed storage space and a show off area for very particular family treasures and books. I also love it comes with wall mounting hardware. With two kids and a dog we have a very active home.
