Winsome Leo 2-Tier Storage Shelf for Living Room Home Office Bedroom Espresso

Love these as our bed side tables! I purchased two for either side of our bed. Since our new bed is about 27.5" tall, these tables worked great and allowed about an inch of table above the bed so you can easily see to set things on top of it. We loved the color as well. It's not too dark and has a wonderful cherry color that looks great with anything. This was also by far one of the easiest shelves to assemble and took only about ten minutes to put together two. Anyone that says it's hard to assemble has apparently never put anything easy together. As like other reviews, these shelves are indeed wood and are very sturdy when against the wall. We put books, table lamps, and baskets on each shelf and they don't cause the shelf to wobble and could probably withstand quite a bit of weight. The only con I can say is that they kind of attract cat hair. I have three cats that are considered short/medium hair so they shed but not to much. These shelves however do seem to attract some cat hair here and there after we put them together but that was probably due to us putting them together on the carpet. But a dry cloth wipes away everything in seconds. The packaging was by far the best I've ever seen. Each piece was individually wrapped and secured with it's own box. So there wasn't any damage to the shelves. Honestly, I would highly recommend these to anyone. They are a great buy for the money and work incredibly well with new beds that are a lot higher than the old bed spring beds. Read more

First of all, yes, OK, technically this can be considered flat-pack furniture, in that it comes packed flat and requires assembly. Don't let that put you off. There is not a shred of particle board in this unit; it is solid wood throughout, and it is a very nice quality piece of work, nicely finished. Unlike most kit furniture these days, it's sourced out of Thailand, not China or Indonesia. It goes together easily, looks good when assembled, and the only tools you will need are the supplied Allen wrench and a soft-face mallet (or a hammer and a piece of softwood to use as a drift) to tap the screw caps into place. The only issue you may have is that sometimes some of the screw holes in the side pieces may be partially blocked by drifts of excess finish. You can clear out the excess easily with a sharp knife. I'm not certain what wood this is; Winsome Wood's site doesn't specify. The finish option I chose was described as "walnut", but I wouldn't have described it as walnut; it's too dark and reddish for that. Rosewood would be a much better description. Whatever you call it, if you like dark wood finishes and clean, simple design, odds are you'll like this. The shelves are big enough to provide a useful amount of space (roughly 10" x 24"), and should take a pretty good amount of weight, though obviously it's not a Gorilla rack and you don't want to use it to store engine blocks. Use it for books, use it for clothes, use it for your collection of Tongan knick-knacks or your collection of single malts. It'll serve admirably for any of them. Read more

I’ve put together a few pieces of furniture lately, which I don’t really enjoy doing so after I bought this I let it sit in my office still in the box for a few weeks even though I wanted to have it set up and ready to use. I finally tackled putting it together today and was very impressed by a few thing about this product - 1) everything was packaged and wrapped in a way to protect it during transit. It was really well packaged. 2) the quality and sturdiness of the pieces was immediately evident. 3) I should not have procrastinated on putting this together because it was quite easy and took me no more than 20 minutes. I was worried because it said it required two people to assemble but it was really very easy with one person. I’m very happy with the shelves and added a few more to my Amazon wish list because there are a few spaces around my home that these shelves would be both beautiful and functional. Read more
