The shelves are frequently described as being made of unfinished wood, requiring users to treat the wood themselves with varnish or wax. The lack of included mounting hardware is a major recurring criticism.

Many users purchase multiple shelves for a coordinated look. Some reviewers mention the need for precise alignment during assembly due to the two-part metal construction.

Several reviewers mention the shelves'' inability to hold items heavier than 200 grams. One reviewer notes that the color in the product image may not accurately represent the actual product''s color.
