Okay, so I took a gamble on this Furinno shelf because, let’s be real—the price was *too* good. Spoiler: It’s actually decent!

Assembly was a solo mission (despite the ‘two people’ warning). Pro tip: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST. I didn’t, panicked for 5 mins, then figured it out. The particle board back? Flimsy vibes—I stabbed some flat pins into it for extra security. DIY win.

Looks way pricier than it is—espresso finish = instant class. Holds my 20+ design books + a chonky succulent pot (~12lbs total) without screaming for mercy. Shelves *do* bow slightly over time though.

Cons: Zero spare screws (RIP my bent nails), and the ‘rubber mallet’ requirement is real—I used a heel. Would buy again for temporary storage, but upgrade if you need heavy-duty.
