I am extremely impressed with this shelf! It looks great and I feel like it will last a long time. It's not the typical particle board that you get with a lot of cheap stuff that the edges chip off easy. This is more of a compressed board of some sort that is wrapped in a nice plastic-type coating. (not sure how else to put it). But I think this will make it last longer and should be easier to clean. Installation was a breeze. The only thing you need is a phillips screwdriver which comes with it. The instructions are very well done and easy to follow. Came with all the pieces. It was extremely well packed too with lots of foam so it didn't get damaged. I didn't find any damaged edges or corners on mine. As I said this is ALMOST perfect, and it would have been a perfect 5 stars for me except for one thing, that may seem trivial, but in my mind, is kind of a big deal. They stuck their logo (in bright orange) on the outside of one of the front-facing pieces. I totally get companies need to put their logo on stuff but I don't know that I've seen companies put their logo on the outside of a piece of furniture. And it's not a sticker or anything that you can remove, it's actually either painted or something on it so it can't be removed. Had it been placed somewhere else (like on the inside of the sides or something, it would have been easily 5 stars, but for me, the logo on the outside in a bright orange color just was hard to overlook. Other than the logo, this thing is absolutely perfect. I honestly can't think of anything negative about it. Despite the logo, I definitely highly recommend this!
