This shelf was a lot easier to hang than I thought it would be - I definitely needed a drill though. I have the brown and it looks expensive and is a unique piece. It feels sturdy and I’m not at all nervous about putting anything breakable on it. I initially bought it for books, but the shelves are too narrow for even a standard size paperback. I ended up hanging it next to my vanity and I have a combo of lotions, nail polishes, perfumes, and decorative trinkets on it. I love this piece so much.
