'I loathe what I did, but what I loathe even more is your virtue.'
Seventeen-year-old Effi Briest is steered by her parents into marriage with an ambitious bureaucrat, twenty years her senior. He takes her from her home to a remote provincial town on the Baltic coast of Prussia where she is isolated, bored, and prey to superstitious fears. She drifts into a half-hearted affair with a manipulative, womanizing officer, which ends when her husband is transferred to Berlin. Years later, events are triggered that will have profound consequences for Effi and her family.
Effi Briest (1895) is recognized as one of the masterpieces by Theodor Fontane, Germany's premier realist novelist, and one of the great novels of marital relations together with Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina. It presents life among the conservative Prussian aristocracy with irony and gentle humour, and opposes the rigid and antiquated morality of the time by treating its heroine with sympathy and keen psychological insight.

Looks great, LED strip is a nice touch. The unit is relatively lightweight while still being quite sturdy. There were a lot of parts and it took some time to assemble, but the instructions were very clear - just step-by-step drawings but everything was labeled clearly. I was pleasantly surprised that the hardware that is used to put it together is better than you’ll often find with low-cost shelving and furniture too, which gives you confidence while assembling. Just don’t over-tighten anything to avoid cracking or stripping the parts.

Nice product, wall mounting could be easier
Size: 7.9"D x 39.4"W x 34.3"H, Color: White
Easy to put together, nice finish. Missing a star cause mounting it to the wall is a lil more difficult than it should be. I would never use the wall anchors to mount this
