Promising review: "I am THRILLED about this tiny bookshelf. I’ve been dying to get a ladder bookshelf, but could not bring myself to buy particleboard.

Promising review: "This shelf is perfect and everything I was looking for! I wish I could give it more stars. Arrived earlier than expected and nicely packaged. The wood shelves look so much better than I expected. You can actually see the grain. Not a single nick on any of the wood shelves. All the holes lined up exactly. I read lots of reviews before buying this shelf and it was very Helpful to know to keep the “X” holes on the back of the frame. My daughter and I assembled it in around 30 mins and was super easy to build. I love the sleek frame which connects seamlessly. Very sturdy! Fits exactly in the spot I wanted and I love that it’s helping me with extra space for my plant addiction. Can’t wait to style it with more accessories. Even better that it fit my budget! Love it so much and highly recommend it. My friend got one too! We’ll be enjoying this purchase for years! This is my best Amazon purchase ever and sparks so much joy." —SF
