I ordered this piece for my living room wall to display photo frames, books, and my favorite decorative pieces. It looks very nice, but I would note that it scratches easily. Also, if you are wanting this for a carpeted room, I would suggest anchoring it to the wall as it could be tipped over easily if you have little children or large pets. The design is so sleek and gorgeous, and is of decent quality. If you are looking for a book or toy shelf for a child's room, I would keep shopping. But if you want a nice display unit, I would purchase this again.
