This is my all time favorite purchase from Wayfair for several reasons. 1. It is so sturdy, 2. It is real wood in a beautiful natural finish. It reminds me of the quality furniture used in many early childhood care centers, so don't confuse this with the cheap wobbly stuff, 3. My grandchildren have put it to the test with books, toys, games, electronics, a tv on the top shelf, and pet bowls on the bottom shelf. Because the grandchildren don't seem willing to part with it, : ) I may have to order one for my office. Don' hesitate to order this bookshelf.
