This item is misrepresented as solid wood which is why we purchased 3 of them for our needs to keep plants and books. This is MDF. And if you make an error with reversing the silver pieces and have to take them back out, then the shelf might turn into dust. Additionally some of the shelving is peeling right out of the box (see picture).
I tried to return after we opened the first box, but Wayfair wants me to pay shipping back, which will cost more. They gave me 100 discount instead. So i ended up still paying about 400 for these junky shelves. Wouldnt recommend. They look nice, but quality is lacking.
