Beautiful, well made, and exactly what I had hoped for.  These shelves are very secure when hung (finding stud is key when hanging). I purchased 3 in the mahogany color for over sons desk in his room and 2 in the old oak color for our kitchen.  Both colors are true to pictures.  All the shelves have their own character and markings, making each one unique.   These shelve have imperfections knot holes, markings etc. and that is one the the special qualities I love.
