Bought 2 of these for my husband's record collection. One arrived with 2 small nicks each on 2 different shelves, the other was in perfect condition. The metal bars that hold the records allow for about half a shelf of LPs on each shelf. The rest of the shelf is the perfect size to display a regular LP face out, but nothing larger. They look good and were the perfect size for our vintage stereo equipment to sit on top.
