It's exactly what I needed. I keep it on top of a cabinet, because there were some binders there that wouldn't stand upright like in a bookcase and they kept falling, as their plastic covers were slippery. I had trouble assembling it and lifting it up. I would have preferred something like that but already assembled, maybe even made of hardwood (I realize that it would have been even heavier). The size was great (I hesitated before buying in case it would have been taller than the ceiling once placed on the cabinet, but it was perfect). I got the brown one and it looks nice. It did not come damaged.
