These shelves are beautiful in their simplicity of design.  They coordinate with my antique mission oak library table and the mantle of our fire place just like I wanted. I ordered two,  for either side of the fire place and they really make a beautiful focal wall and give me much needed storage.  They are not overly deep, but just the right size for most hard back text books and magazines and roomy enough for reference books, but not overwhelmingly deep to over power the room.  They are like having hand stained home made book shelves without the work!   

Pros: Big, sturdy and beautiful with a craftsman style finish.  Shelves are adjustable to fit the needs of different items.Customer service from the company ws great, too!
Cons: Directions a bit confusing, put the front moldings on with the steel pins first and then follow the rest of the diretions.
