I actually liked the shelf a lot. It’s sturdy and the shelves has a good weight to them. I have to say that after finishing setting it up, the entire unit was a lot larger and taller than what the pictures made them out to be. There’s enough height between each shelves which is nice as you can fit books or plants or anything you want. Assembly was a bit of a pain though because you really have to pay attention to which way the shelves face otherwise you can potentially have it backups.
