Great shelf for the price and goes well well with a traditional/farmhouse style decor. The shelf is lightweight, sit flush against the wall, and is durable (is able to withstand the weight of 2 work bags). I was worried that the shelf was going to be too wide for our small apartment hallway, but it is actually perfect and no one has bumped into or banged their head on the corner of the shelf. I am contemplating ordering a second shelf for my son's room. I would definitely recommend this shelf if you are looking for something with charm, but also function.
