Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I knew these were cheap when I bought them. I even told my fiance, "these are both the cheapest bookshelves I've ever bought AND the cheapest bookshelves I've ever bought" (referring to both the price and the general quality - particle wood and plastic. But they were THE PERFECT SIZE for a spot that I wanted to add a bookshelf so I bought 2 of them and hoped for the best. A day later I ordered 4 more (!!!). Yes, they're cheap. But they actually look pretty good when they're assembled and if you're not putting priceless antiques on them, which I'm not, they work quite fine and hold up to some pretty decent weight (i.e. books, a few reams of printer paper, etc.). I honestly expected to be returning these when I bought them, would NEVER have expected to essentially triple my order, and would have called anyone a liar if they said I'd be leaving a 5-star review. Go figure. I'm very impressed.
