I bought this shelving unit for my tropical plant propagations. It's super easy to put together by yourself and the instructions are easy to follow. It's also very sturdy. The wired shelves are great for plants outdoors because they let light through to the lower shelves. I'm now using it indoors, and I have fluorescent grow light fixtures zip tied to the underside of the shelves and cut plastic shelf liners to size to protect the fixtures below from accidental water drips. I expected it to look a bit out of place inside my house, but the black finish looks great and even my partner loves it. I'll probably end up buying another once I run out of space for plants on this one.
