This stand is sturdy, and was the perfect size and shape for my small living room. The glass shelves are sturdy - the top shelf holds up to 75LB -- and offer a much breezier and more open look than the other wood shelves I was considering. The best feature, for me, is that THE FEET ARE ADJSUTABLE!! No unsightly bumpers or pads needed to even out the stand on my wavy old floors. I ordered the Black finish; the color seems to be slightly warmer than straight institutional black, which is a good thing. The color on the box said "Blackened Bronze", but It's more black than bronze, with a VERY subtle metallic sheen which adds to the depth. (I'm a stickler for color and finish, obv).
Note: the finish does scratch easily, so be extra careful when sliding the glass shelves on. (They need to be slid in through the opening on the sides, so leave space!
Assembly was quick, easy and instructions were very clear. It took less than 30 mins with my 9-yr old assistant.
Highly recommend this shelving system!
