I really love these shelves.  I need something for storage in a hallway that has a large air register on the floor. Obviously I didn't want to cover the air intake and these shelves solved my problem. They also go very well with my traditional craftsman decor but would work just as well in a minimalist or more contemporary decor.  Very easy to assemble and mount to the wall.  They have a very substantial look and feel, you'll be pleased with these shelves!
