I bought this shelf for plants because I was running out of room and this was the only one that would fit in the space above my other plant rack. It's very nice that it is adjustable in width and height, so I was able to get my planta to fit on it. The only complain I have is the instructions. They weren't very clear and I didn't really understand why they chose to alternate the tubes to build the shelf, as when you try to adjust the width, one falls off and then it's a domino effect -- you try to move that one back, and then the others fall out of place, rinse and repeat. Needless to say, it took me a long while doing it by myself.
