I was so disappointed to see that the shelves just have paper printed to look like wood. On the undersides you can easily see where it is glued, one of them was peeling a bit, and the identical wood pattern on all the shelves makes it hard to hide. It looks fine with books on it I guess, and they are very light, shipped super fast, and there were easy to put together. Tip: put all the bolts on a bit before going around and tightening them. If you tighten one side all the way first, some of the other holes won't line up.
