It’s a small footprint bookshelf in a creamy white with a wooden top shelf. I choose not to add the skirt as I preferred it without. I have placed it in a small recess in the kitchen to hold my cookbooks amongst other things. It also doubles up as a tv stand. I’m very pleased with look and quality but it was unnecessarily complicated to build and required a power tool to get some of the screws in. Hence the 4 star review instead of 5.
