The marketing, website and ordering process for this company is like lipstick on a pig. It is all worthless if the product is bad. I ordered 3 left sided 6” radius shelves which came with the screws sticking out of the top. These shelves were very expensive, so I assumed I ordered the wrong shelves or maybe they sent the wrong shelves, but when I emailed they said “that is how they are made”. There are no images showing the top of the shelves with screws. They said it’s in “the installation instructions”. Do not buy this product. It is overpriced and a big ruse.

At no point do they say that their color of shelf changes even if you order the same exact one. I get that all wood is different, but I am a person buying a shelf, not a wood expert, and the worst thing of all is I spent a ton of money on the shelf, which I am not...
