Top & bottom shelves areerikTop & bottom shelves are a wood based material, and are supposed to be screwed onto the shelves. Unfortunately, I didn't have a drill and the material is super dense, so I wasn't able to use a punch to create a pilot hole for the screws.
The other issue I ran into, it was a me problem most likely, was that 2 of the posts have holes that need to be aligned with each other - but are otherwise identical. I missed this fact, despite reading the instructions before attempting assembly, and had to partially disassemble the unit to correct the mistake.
Nice aesthetic, overall.5
Love it. Fits and looksLauraLove it. Fits and looks as expected.5
You need to drillPhilipRelatively easy to assemble. But the wooden shelves need drilling holes for screws, which takes extra work and effort. Otherwise, it’s a lovely airy shelf with its slim frame and glass shelving.5

PerfectionLeeAnnaI waited MONTHS for Vittsjo to come back in stock, and I am so glad I didn't give up and purchase something elsewhere. To get a similar look elsewhere will cost ~$300. This shelf unit is GORGEOUS – modern, clean lines, simple, well-constructed, sturdy. I do wish the holes in the top and bottom wood slabs were pre-drilled, but it wasn't too difficult to do it ourselves. We also didn't receive enough padding stickers for the glass, so we improvised. I can't say enough good things about this unit otherwise.5

Love this shelf!EliseI bought this shelf to use as a plant stand near my windows. It works perfect, has enough height in each shelf (there’s only a few big plants I can’t fit on it so I put them on the top) and I love that the shelves are glass so that light can get through. I was debating just getting the cheaper shelves that ikea offered but I’m happy I splurged for these! Some of the screws did get stripped easily during assembly and were hard to really get in but you just need to take your time with those. That’s really the only flaw with it was trouble during assembly.5
Love this shelving piece!Kim L.I love, love this piece. Perfect for the dining area to put serving pieces, dishes, plants and knick-knacks on. Excellent value! Love the piece.5
