We chose this shelf as a solution for our lego-obsessed son's room. He needed shelving for his masterpieces but we didn't want to crowd his room by adding a bookshelf. So we ordered three of these shelves, and installed them above one another in the corner by his desk. We ordered the white so that it tied in with the moulding of the room. The room still feels open and uncluttered and we have the storage!
