I absolutely love how unique this bookshelf is. It really accents my living room. Thankfully, mine came with instructions. I read the other reviews stating that theirs didn’t come with one? I also am glad I followed the advice of another reviewer and read ahead since there is a mistake in the instructions that can cause immense confusion. The stickers to cover up the bolts are a different color than the shelf but that honestly doesn’t bother me too much. Other than that, I absolutely love how unique this shelf is! I use it for my crafts and books and it holds everything.
