Customer feedback highlights an unobtrusive appearance and practical use, including on decorative bookcases.

That distinction matters because the listing gives dimensions but no load limit, and its material and quantity details conflict.

- Some customers report that they feel sturdy and work well on decorative bookcases.
Mixed feedback
