Came quickly and packaged very well. I have some framed photos on the top shelf, my son uses the middle for all his books, and I have some of my art coffee table books on the bottom. It looks beautiful - so unique. It's near the entrance of our house and so many people comment that they like it. It is very gold, but that's exactly what I was looking for. Well-made and feels like it could take a lot of weight. And it stands up! We've had ours for years now and it still looks brand new.
