Nice for the Price!
Well, I was looking for something to use as a non-traditional nightstand, when I stumbled across this corner rack. It was just the sort of elegant-looking style I had in mind, plus at a price that can't be beaten! So I ordered it and eagerly awaited its arrival...Once I got it, it was very easy to put together. I took my time so I wouldn't break anything like an idiot, and it went together smoothly and easily. Once fully assembled, it felt sturdy and solid. It did wobble on my carpet, but it was because the carpet was squishy, not because the legs were uneven (I tested it on a linoleum floor). I did notice that it's not the most stable thing in the world. It's tall and skinny, so it's a bit top heavy and I would not put a bunch of heavy stuff on the top shelves with nothing on the bottom. In fact, if you are planning to use it on carpet, I'd suggest placing a larger heavier item on the bottom shelf to weigh it down and discourage tipping. I'm planning to use a decorative trunk on that lower shelf, so that should work great. Be careful though, I don't know what weight rating it has, but the wood is thin, so I doubt it could handle anything too heavy. Certainly don't put a 50 lb. block of lead on the bottom shelf or anything.As for the appearance of the unit, it looks nice once it's fully assembled. I daresay that this is the prettiest item of its type that your going to find for this price. The cherry stain is quite pretty, and it's got a medium gloss finish, but the undersides of the shelves are not finished, so bear that in mind. Oh, and I should mention that the product image shows a gold-colored decorative ring on all the shelves, but the one I got didn't have it. Weird. It doesn't bother me much, though, as it still looks fine.Lastly, for anyone who's really dying to know, I'm going to provide a complete set of measurements of everything I can think of. The height is about 47.5 inches from the floor to the top of the highest shelf. Now I'll list the measures of the radii of the shelves (from the back corner to the outer edge). Please keep in mind that the shelves are slightly scalloped, so these measurements are approximate: 15 inches on the bottom shelf, 13.5 inches on the second to bottom shelf, 12 inches on the middle shelf, 10 inches on the second to top shelf, and 9 inches on the top shelf. Okay, so now I'm going to list width of each shelf, measuring from column to column (that way, you know how wide of a box you could set on any shelf): 14.5 inches on the bottom shelf, 12.5 inches on the second to bottom shelf, 10.5 inches on the middle shelf, 8.5 inches on the second to top shelf, and 8 inches on the top shelf. Also, there's 10.75 inches of space between each shelf. Well, that's all the relevant measurements I can think of. Enjoy!

Looks More Expensive Than It Is
For $25, this is one of the greatest bargains of all time. SO INEXPENSIVE yet not bad looking at all. If you don't look too closely, you might think it's almost vintage. It works nicely in the corner of my dining room for small china collectibles. Ridiculously easy to assemble. I mean, believe me, if it was simple and quick for me to put this together, YOU can probably do it with your eyes closed. This is an excellent way to utilize otherwise wasted corner space on a shoestring budget.

Very cute
Extremely easy to assemble. Even for people such as myself, who can mess up putting together a toaster,( with no assembly required). I bought it for my dining room to display my fine china/ tea sets. It looks wonderful, except a tad smaller than I thought in my mind. It actually made me decide to throw down the cash for a actual corner china hutch, (to fit wine glasses and such). To confirm possible buyers, this shelf is for decor only. The product came completely in tact and is sturdy enough for tea sets, photos, flowers,small statues, etc. A nice addition to any room.I still use the shelf, but am going to move it to the bedroom. It will also look quite lovely in there. I recommend this product very much so. I took off one star feeling it could be just the slightest bit less expensive. I'm happy, but I mean, it is just fake wood.

Pretty, utilitarian and a great price!
It all arrived,neatly packed in a small box. Instructions were very easy to follow and once you assembled 1 level, you simply followed the same pattern all the way up. Very sturdy and it looks very pretty with my mineral samples on it

Classic
I thought it rather odd that so many reviewers stated "smaller than I thought it would be" but, yes, it was definitely smaller than I thought it would be. Never the less, it makes up in other ways what it is lacks in size. It is rather petite but holds plenty. Easy to assemble (I assembled two of them in less than a half hour). Perfect for corner displays. I have many fragile family heirlooms on them but I initially tested their sturdiness by placing a heavy fish bowl (including the fish) on the top shelf for a day. It stood the test, even when one of my cats ran up against it while chasing a laser light beam (if she had broken the shelf, I would have beamed her up for good!). Very classy looking as well and well worth the price.

Purchased to go with a 70-year old Victorian Cherry Bedroom Set--PERFECT!
I inherited my great-aunt's first bedroom set after she passed away last year--she was 90 years young. Eventually this bedroom set was moved to her guest room as she and her husband bought a larger set years down the road. As a child I slept in this bed and always remembered feeling like a princess. I set up the bedroom set for my 8-year old daughter, and when adding pieces for items she needed, like a shelf or desk, I did not want to stray away from the craftsmanship of the set. This 5-tier corner stand could not be more perfect. It is easy to assemble and has that decorative Victorian flair. I would recommend placing a strap to secure it to the corner as it could tip--which is recommended, regardless, for most children's furniture.

Easy to assemble, looks great
This really added a beautiful touch to our living room. Now I can have plants right in front or our window. I put an orchid on top and two green houseplants on the 3rd and 4th tier. I have a nice assortment of books and a framed photo on the lower 2 tiers to help weigh it down. It looks like real wood (except underneath but that's not really visible). Putting it together took about 15 mins and required little effort or even studying the guide. The only caution is to not screw the pegs in TOO tight - a couple pegs had little splits starting and could have been an issue. Well worth it, especially at this price. I saw a shelf (real wood) like this at the consignment store for $250!
