- Good quality. Easy to install. Good purchase for the price. Does have an odor when it first comes (front the finish) but aired out in a few days. If you are sensitive I would let it air out a little before bringing in a small room.
- These are nice quality shelves! Love the way they get hung with the metal dowels that are drilled into it!! I have had so much trouble with floating shelves due to bowed walls or uneven shelving and this helped solve the problem! Bought 2 sets Love Love Love!
- Exactly what I was expecting and easy to install. Solid, quality wood. Yes, you can probably get lumber cut at the store, stain yourself, drill the holes, and find the hardware...but this is all done for you, holes drilled, and hardware included. Thank you for another great product!

- I purchased this and the matching stepped bookcase for my sons birthday. He needed a display for his collectibles and this turned out perfect. Its great quality and went together quickly easily. We assembled it together but could be done with only one person
- Looks great for the price, but is a little bit wobbly. It comes with some straps to secure it to the wall but the straps were kinda ugly so I didn’t use them. Overall great quality
- Easy assembly, somewhat “cheap” quality up close but excellent value for the price and LOOKS amazing. Great height to add dimension to a blank corner of the room and holds a lot of weight per shelf.
