Posted by mer on November 25, 2009 i think the right side is correct, they just added an extra rectangle on the left, then it gives us the illusion there is 4 when there really is 3.

Posted by Allyson on February 22, 2011 there is exactly 2 shelves..... one on the botto one on the top. So it is not 3 or 4 or even 5. It is just 2 because the rest dont connect to eachother.

Posted by Martin on December 25, 2011 5 shelves: top, bottom, 2 in between on the left, 1 in between on the right. (cover the middle of the images vertically and you will see it easily).
