We have two of these in our bathroom, one on either side of a pedestal sink.  They look great, the laminate shelves are finished on all sides, and are shaped as if they were a real piece of stone, furthering the illusion.  The supports are metal, and have an attractive brushed paint on them.  One or two clunky welds on each piece but nothing terribly obvious.  These are so nice, I am thinking of another one in my spare room instead of a flimsy bookcase.
