Very nice shelves
Color: Black, Size: 15.7in
These shelves look so good. I used them to hold my pop figures and it put together my room very nicely. It was good for the price as well with how many it came with and the quality of the shelves. If you need more space then you can put the shelves together side by side to have more room.
