Great shelf for the price!  I'm happy with this purchase and it works just as I had planned in my space.  The color of the shelves is fairly true to the photo (perhaps just a little bit darker).  The shelves are laminate, so I recommend to inspect each shelf to ensure the best side is facing up and forward.  I did this after I had everything put together and had to disassemble and rotate two shelves where the side was rough on one end and another where the laminate wrap looked odd at the long edge.  There are over 80+ screws for this installation, so make sure your battery is charged in your drill!
