The finish is OK...most of the edges are sanded down but there are brittle/broken pieces on "inside" of some edges. Some of the curved tops have uneven rounding, if that matters to anyone. One of the pieces also had a bunch of strange gray splotches over it that didn't look like bamboo grain. After assembling it wasn't *super* level, but it still works the way I wanted it to and I don't plan to move it around, so still think it's pretty good value. As others have mentioned, there are no instructions, so I looked at the product photos online to assemble it. What's not obvious is that you need to install the bottom-right horizontal shelf with the correct piece of bamboo (i.e., the piece with the 2 holes drilled into the underside of the horizontal surface). Those holes for you to place the two provided blunt slidey-metal knobs, that let you slide the shelf along the groove of the bottom-left shelf's topside horizontal surface.

Just right for my desk!

I love this little shelf and can see it working in many areas. I am only giving it 4 stars as the product we got had some irregularly drilled holes and it does not sit flat, so I hope to Return it, but order 2 more. It came with no assembly instructions and was quite a challenge to put the pieces together correctly, Only to find that I need to take it apart and send it back since it is not sitting flat.

Just what I was looking for! As other reviewers mentioned, the quality of this is not amazing, but will work for my purposes. Boards are not fully aligned when screwed in and no instructions.

Good quality but a little bit mixed user manual, there is some mistakes. Some holes might be drilled not well and can fits not well. But great design, idea and finally looks nice!

it is useful
