Is compact and versatile ; I can fit two stacks of paperbacks on one shelf and one of hardbacks on another and all those awkward books, maps and such like fit beautifully onto the bottom shelf.It's suitable for any room , I have it in my hall with plants on top.! It's just what I wanted. It is easy to assemble and light enough to move easily. Not only that it fits with any décor. I might buy another !
