I love the look of this shelf. I bought two, and while they definitely needed to be anchored to the wall in my case (our floor slants slightly) they look great, and they're sturdy. The biggest problem I had is that one of the 12 vertical pieces came without two of the necessary holes drilled in (which are about dime-sized), so I had to improvise and drill them myself, because I didn't want to wait for a return situation given the issues I had with pinning down an actual delivery date. But the shelves look great and I'm happy overall.
