The shelf looks nice, but it's not very sturdy. We followed the instructions closely, and even supplemented with wood glue, and it's still pretty rickety. Also somewhat misaligned--like top panel doesn't fit completely flush with shelf. One of the knobs was also broken. Still 3 stars because it looks nice and is serving its purpose, but would not purchase again. Also pleased with Wayfair customer service as I was easily able to get a partial refund on the item when I submitted a quality complaint.
