I liked how the shelves were displayed in the catalog using both the espresso and white colors. We removed our baker's rack in our kitchen and put the shelving up to give a new look. We staggered the shelves on either side of a window and placed beautiful, colorful, glass pieces on them to add color to the room.
The packaging and quality is excellent. If you purchase these, you may want to invest in better anchors. Using the anchors in the package, the shelves didn't feel as secure as when we used a heavier duty anchors.
The width of the shelves is wide enough to hold a centerpiece bowl in a plate holder, but not too wide that it interferes with the space in your room.
