I like the overall lighting too, only thing I would change is the light above the shelf with the glasses on it. I think it is way too bright. If you are not using an IES file, use one, you can get a very nice effect on the wall where the light is hitting it.

Also, I would add more things to the edges of the scene so that when you frame it, there are things only slightly in the image giving the illusion that there is a lot more going on where you can't see.

Here is a zip of some IES files that I use with a reference image for each so you can see how the cone of light looks. I got this from somewhere, but I forget, so can't give them credit :(
