We love this shelf! The packaging was some of the best ive seen for online furniture. The directions were really clear, and all the nuts and bolts needed are in a bubble pack and clearly labeled. (They included extras, so dont panic lol) we laid it down to assemble which worked very well. Suprised at how sturdy this thing is, and the measurements were exact as the description, which fit the space perfect. The 2nd pic shows how well it fits in the transition from kitchen into living room. A perfect fit where trashcans were in the way, and hanging brooms would have been an eyesore. we'll likely buy more pieces from this collection in the furture!! Highly reccommend, not a single negative to report!
