This open shelving unit is exactly what I was looking for! It was very easy to put together and seems much sturdier than other metal/wood units out there. You cannot get a better shelving unit for this price. The colors are rich and the size of the unit is perfect for my 900 sq ft apartment. It's portable and can easily be moved from room to room if I decide to re purpose it. Right now it's in the kitchen/living room displaying my dish wares.
