I love these! I have purchased 4 of them, over the last few years and, while they are not the most sturdy construction, they serve their purpose beautifully and they have held up very well over time. They look nice and have actually been admired by several guests who have wanted to buy them as well. The finish on the shelves has not chipped or worn as items have repeatedly been pulled off and put back on. I would definitely recommend using the wall mount kit that they provide, without it, the unit could be easily pulled down by a child or pet, because of it's small base. Overall, I feel like it was a great deal and money well spent.
