Acclaimed author Alison Weir brings to life the extraordinary tale of Katherine Swynford, a royal mistress who became one of the most crucial figures in the history of Great Britain. Born in the mid-fourteenth century, Katherine de Ro t was only twelve when she married Hugh Swynford, an impoverished knight. But her story had truly begun two years earlier, when she was appointed governess to the household of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and fourth son of King Edward III. Widowed at twenty-one, Katherine became John's mistress and then, after many twists of fortune, his bride in a scandalous marriage. Mistress of the Monarchy reveals a woman ahead of her time--making her own choices, flouting convention, and taking control of her own destiny. Indeed, without Katherine Swynford, the course of English history, perhaps even the world, would have been very different.Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful Decorative and Light Weight Shelving!
Color: White
Beautiful shelving. Came with hardware for hanging and a ruler strip template for mounting locations, although the holes did not match up with the shelf holes. Shelves are just the right size for my purpose and also decorative and light weight.

sturdy, solid wood, a couple of blemishes
Color: Black
The shelves are securely packed for shipping. The box for the actual item was dented and smashed at one corner, but the contents were well secured. The support braces (6 in total) had a blemish on one - which I will cover with black permanent marker and face on the inside. The second support, which was packed so one could see the defect upon opening of the box, had a couple of dings on the top of the shelf and a huge notch taken out of the side of the support - which is black and near the top and shouldn't be noticable. I question the quality control to ship out that piece with the serious notch, especially because it was right on top when you opened the box, fully visible. I originally thought it was an angled hole for a screw, until I read the instructions and then realized the others didn't have that notch. The 3 shelves are fine except for the one with a few small dings/dents on the top side. The set comes with dowels, all hardware and so forth. Overall these are solid sturdy shelves.

Color matches photos… but stickers don’t 😂
Color: Wooden, Color: Wooden
They don’t feel cheap & hold a reasonable about of weight considered I have my heavy ass salt rock lamp thing on there. It also matches all my other wood which was what I was really hoping for. One thing that made me laugh is the stickers they included to hide the screws. The color is so off it’s comical. It’s not a big deal though, I am just not going to use them.
