This set of accent shelves was purchased as one wedding gift for my niece.    It is a big hit.  She and her husband LOVE this piece and they make sure to display this in their living room.  They explained that it fits everywhere in their apt. but that they love how elegant it is and have chosen to admire it in their living room.  They feel it really dresses up their space.   They also are book people and are thrilled with how it holds their collections.
