The Juan Wall Shelf was the perfect addition in my small room full of books where I had a need to shelve more books after buying the Carl Iron Pipe Ladder Bookcase. The two items look great together and now all of my books finally have a proper home with a unifying look with the two items together. I’m thrilled with my purchase of the Juan Wall Shelf! The flexibility of having it either sit on the floor or mount up on the wall made making it fit my space so much easier. I was surprised to see that the bottoms of each shelf were not stained darker like the tops of each shelf, but they still look beautiful and aren’t very noticeable once I mounted the shelves. It’s also very sturdy and took only about 20 minutes to assemble and mount to the wall. I highly recommend this item.
