Gotta say, I'm really disappointed with this shelf for the price. The finishes do NOT look like the picture. The "black" is actually dark gray and the "copper" joints have very little copper color showing through-- the same dark gray finish is slapped all over the joints & obscures 95% of the copper color. Since I bought this to go in a bathroom with a copper tub and BLACK fixtures/hardware, it's a major disappointment. It matches neither finish in that room and cannot be used in there. It's pretty sturdy, but be aware that the picture is not what you're going to get in terms of appearance. The feet of the shelf actually ARE black, so it's not like they didn't have black paint. Definitely will NOT order from this brand again!
