It's actually a great product, but beware of the following...
Reason for 3 stars:Shipping was delayed 3 days, even though this item was ordered via a Prime account and was promised for next day delivery. Also, the seller initially had one of these units available via Amazon and I needed two. I e-mailed them and received a reply saying that "they were not longer producing the item and to take my business elsewhere", which I not only thought was a bit terse (could have possibly been an auto-translation), but was a bit confusing to me considering Amazon was reflecting a stock of at least 1. Because I needed two I was forced to look for alternative the following day and I noticed that the very item from the same seller was "back in full stock" and I was able to order two. I am not sure if my e-mail regarding stock quantity resulted in the last bit of their inventory for this item to be updated as available, but either way a bit of a more courteous response would have been greatly appreciated when inquiring about stock quantity. If, in fact, my inquiry promoted a stock check, it would have been nice to know instead of being told to take my business elsewhere. I'm lucky that I happen to stumble upon the almost immediate restock, had I not, I would have, well...'taken my business elsewhere'...Product Pros:I ordered two of these stands. Assembly was easy and straight forward. Unlike other reviews, and contrary to what I was expecting, my units arrived with recessed screw holes on a series of the sides to allow for flush mount screw heads. This allows for the entire surface to be used without interruption. Once assembled they seem sturdy and have an overall nice look with the complete acrylic construction, unlike competitors that have metal legs, etc. Truly a "floating" display riser.Product Cons:These are definitely not perfectly constructed, however the dimension issues are nominal after entirely put together. Unfortunately the acrylic shelves are wrapped together in cellophane. Competitors have a special protective adhesive, that is often mistaken for a "frosted" look as opposed to the "transparent" nature of acrylic, that protects the unit during manufacture/shipping and can be easily removed to reveal a perfect surface. These stands arrived with scratches in varying degrees that can be seen when inspecting them closely. It does not effect the overall function of the product, but I could imagine it posing an issue for some prospective buyers. I am surprised that they do not bother me, as I typically strive for perfect quality when purchasing a brand new item. If it's gonna scratch, I want to be the one to do it - I guess the cost-effective nature helps alleviate those OCD feelings in this particular case.Overall:I am very happy with these risers, as they met my expectations and are perfect for the necessary display installation. I would not travel with these, if you are looking to use them as displays for trade shows, etc., but they work well for more permanent display installations, like cabinets, glass-front shelves, etc.Pro tips:I mostly used finger tension to apply all necessary screws, but for two, which I used a screw driver for minimal tightening. Some reviews report cracks in the acrylic at the screw points, but that is definitely from over torquing the screws. Acrylic is a thermoglass plastic, so take into account that though extremely strong as a whole, acrylic acts the same as a glass surface does - so no need to over tighten any joints. Also, ensure that you are orienting the shelves properly during assembly, this may have been the reason for other's not getting a "flush" screw head on each shelf surface.

Sturdy and great price!
Great sturdiness and easy to assemble. Great for displaying my soaps and bath salts!

Parts missing
I was missing a whole shelf and couldn’t put it together, obviously. Very disappointing as it looked sturdy enough, though there was quite a bit of hardware for such a small shelf and didn’t look particularly easy to assemble; then again, I couldn’t tell you for certain since I was missing a critical piece.

Works just OK for alcohol bottles
I bought these for my whiskey bar project (see photo). While they work, they aren't the most sturdy under the weight of the scotch. Honestly, I don't really access the bottles very often, so I'm ok with it. We'll see how they hold up over time. For reference, in this photo, I am using 3 sets side by side.

Scratches galore -- beware!
I ordered two shelves -- one came in completely scratched. Usually acrylic displays come with a protective film that's removable. These shelves are just wrapped together with no protection and shoved in a box with screws and other pieces.I'm glad one came in relatively scratch free, but the other one is super gross -- deep scratches, dirty and not really display worthy. I expected better and it seems as though it's really a gamble with these.Buy at your own risk -- I won't be coming back.

Repurposed for Fireplace!
I repurposed these. My fire place is closed off. I wanted to make it look more real. Stacking candles needed two levels to look right. These worked great!

Cute shelf, one wrong leg
Looks good but came with one incorrect leg with a screw hole in the front where it shouldn’t be, don’t really notice though I have my perfumes sitting on the shelf
