I absolutely love *almost* everything about this shelf. Shipping was fast, packed well, arrived without damage, easy to assemble (I did it myself in about 45 minutes), super sturdy and the material is solid wood. Like other reviewers I have one gripe the screws are big (part of why it’s so sturdy), there are a lot of them, and they are a silverchrome color. The entire shelf looks really high end and well constructed, but the visible screws cheapen the look significantly (see picture). I ordered some white caps from another site and hope that will draw the eye away from the screws. Other than this issue I love everything about this piece and definitely recommend.
