Just as described, study and perfect for what I needed! The one dig I have is the bottom of the shelves are white…I mean is it really that much more expensive to produce it all in the same tone? I doubt it and every time I see it, I’m reminded! The parts and pieces themselves are not substantial, but the final product is perfect in the corner of my office. Including a plant in a ceramic pot, it’s filled with office and sentimental items in my home. I’d recommend it, if you are looking for something simple, reasonably priced which is not a substantial addition but functional.
