I liked the first one so much that I bought the second one. The shelf is very solid when assembled and feels even more solid when loaded. It took about 15 minutes to assemble the first time and 10 minutes the second time. The instructions are clear with hints to help you avoid something you won't notice until the end of the build. The finish feels and looks good and has held up well so far. It turned out to be larger than I expected, but is designed to be divided into two three-story sections if needed. such chromed metal wire shelves that I had.
