Overall it’s a very nice ladder shelf unit but on closer inspection when building it up, it did come with a few chips in the laminate and a strange black dye which is smeared in places. I think it is used to rub into the laminate edges to create a seamless finish but it was all over a couple of the shelves (this may have just been a one off though and not on others out there) 
The unit is very strong and sturdy and the dark grey colour is very nice, it makes plants and ornaments stand out nicely. 
I would buy it again but unfortunately just had to drop a star for the chips in the laminate, apart from that a very nice item 
(can assemble with one person but a second pair of hands makes it less awkward)
