The shelving was easy to put together and handy in size to fit in a tight place. Sturdy also for I needed to put heavy books on it. I ordered two and the second one I used in my very small kitchen that I had to convert into a home office. I put my HP all in one fax, scanner, copy machine on the top shelf in front of the window and the height allowance allowed me to lower it below the window. Nice fit in a very small space.
