I purchased this shelf with the intent to use it for all kinds of different products from containers to electronics. Obviously, the product isn't as sturdy as steel and wood, but I knew that before I purchased it!It took me less than an hour to set it up, and I was able to do so on my own. The instructions provided were straightforward and incredibly simple, but I didn't need them. There were a lot of parts in the box, but again, setting it up was simple!I will say, if you want to place small bottles on this, remember that there are small dips between the bars that make it annoying for them to stand up. I thought about placing a piece of carboard between the bars and the shelving just to avoid these dips.As I mentioned, it isn't the sturdiest shelf on the planet, but you will be surprised just how sturdy it is! It's able to hold quite a lot of things, and it's easy to disassemble if needed. If you need a decent shelf with plenty of storage that doesn't break the bank, this might be for you. I will likely end up purchasing more in the future!
