I really wanted to love this purchase...I don't. The first thing I noticed when it arrived was the way it was packed. It's kinda like they through the pieces in the box with no padding what so ever and sent it off. As a result of the poor packaging many of the the corners were dented or crushed. Second, these shelves took longer to put together and any shelve I have ever encountered. I've put together may shelves and this one was by far the hardest. Very poor instructions!
