Furinno FULDA Book Shelf, 2-Tier Narrow Bookshelf, Bookcase with 10-In Width Storage Shelf, 9.3 x 9.8 x 21.2, for Living Room, Bedroom, Home Office, Darkwood

I was looking for 2 solid pieces of furniture to use on my covered front porch to put plants on. I didn't really like the actual plant stands I kept coming across, so when I saw this small bookcase, I decided to give it a try since it was the perfect size for the space where I intended to use it. The bookcases arrived with all pieces included and in good condition, and I found it very easy to follow the directions to put them together. Once together, the bookcases seemed pretty sturdy. Like I said, I am using these on my porch on each side of my front door with a potted plant on top of them. They have been outside now for a few months, and I have had no issues with them. I have the openings facing each other, creating an area for small packages to be left out of sight when I get deliveries. That was definitely an added bonus! My only issue with the bookcase is that the back of it is cardboard and colored only on the shelf side. This means that if you want to place it somewhere in a room where the back is exposed, it's going to look bad. Will it last forever? I doubt it. But if you're looking for a small bookshelf (or plant stand) at a decent price, this should work for you.
