I really love the style of this and it was very simple to assemble. Beware though about hanging it in an older home with plaster walls. The screws they give you to actually hang it on the wall are too short for plaster corners as there are no studs behind wall where the holes are in the shelf unit. (Must be meant for drywall walls)That said, it was easy enough to buy longer screws that come with the plastic insert for behind the wall. I ordered a cherry finish and it is VERY dark, looks more black than cherry. I should of ordered the walnut one instead but now that it is hanging up I don't want to take it down. The shelves are very roomy and can hold a 5X7 picture in a frame with a couple smaller ones or a figurine etc. I gave it 4 stars because of having to buy screws and the color not accurate but overall I love these shelves, I have had a lot of wonderful comments about them and I would buy them again and recommend them to anyone wanting a little more space with style.
