I was looking for extra shelving for a hallway closet.  This item was perfect!!  It was exactly the right size. The assembly was as stated----very easy.  Assembly took less than 5 minutes. No tools required. I like the spacing between the shelves.  I am storing large items on the shelves and everything fit perfectly. The design is really too attractive to have in a closet.  Therefore, I plan on purchasing another one to display some larger plates that I have in an open space.  It is a very functional, well made, lovely, easy to assemble shelving unit.
