KNAPE & VOGT 2141 HNY 24 SHELF MADE DISPLAY LEDGE 24" HONEY

The construction of this shelf appears solid and well-made. We have installed it on a bathroom wall to coordinate with an oak vanity. The slightly raised edge around the outer edges of the shelf helps hold items more securely.When it first arrived, we debated on whether or not to keep it. The color is off. One reviewer described it as orange; I would characterize it as an orange-hued fake oak - realistically, the honey-color advertised.I don't like the varnish. It feels slightly sticky although is improving now that we've had the shelf installed for about three months.I like the shelf better than I did when we ordered it so have updated my review. It has grown on both my husband and myself. I do think the items we placed on it and by it have made a very real difference in our impression of the shelf. We have a small straw basket with an air fern on it plus an oblong metal rustic basket that holds several small items. On the wall beside the shelf, we installed a stunning elongated stretch canvas picture from the Hubble Telescope. That picture has a lot of black in it and has greatly improved the look of this shelf and balanced out its color.

This is a beautiful shelf, but the color is way off. I should've returned it, but since I didn't, I ended up repainting ( since I needed a shelf for a project, and didn't have time to return it ). Unless you want a shelf with an "orangey" color, just buy a plain white one.

Though the shelf is well made the color is orange. I purchased it to hang on a wall to coordinate with two other shelves that are golden oak, but this shelf is orange and does not represent the color as pictured. Will keep it and try to use it elsewhere but not for what I intended to use it for.

Definitely orange! I was looking for an oak shelf and this is definitely not oak. It's more of a balsa wood stained to look an oak color - big fail!

I returned the item immediately. It was cheaply made & the finish had numerous scratches. I guess for the price I should have known better than to order. Definitely do NOT recommend this item.
