I bought two of these, to go under my brightest SW corner windows, where on their top surfaces I place my plants. In the cabinets and shelves below are all the toys and books that I keep for my grandson, when he comes visiting, but of course thats just my personal circumstance, which will change in a few years, when I can go back to more artful arrangements.
People who come over have admired them.
In spite of the fact that I keep plants on them, I would never recommend MDF or anything basically made of sawdust and glue, for a plant shelf. There will be accidents, and if you dont notice in time to wipe it up there could be negative consequences. Nevertheless, Ive had these for over a year and everything is still okay. The surface finish doesnt immediately absorb water, unlike, say, Sauder stuff which is little more than paper. The finish is pretty hard, and you have a few minutes to deal with spills. Thats very important to me.
I give these cabinets 5 stars for ease of assembly. Its not that it wont take you a little while, but the directions were entirely clear, everything fitted well, and the further along I got in the project the happier I was with the emerging new addition to my living space.
Five stars all around.
Elegant and admired
