This is a substantial item!  Although it didn't look like much in the box, it is sturdy and wide - with the added bonus of a storage rail at the bottom too.  This has a great amount of space and is exactly what I was after. I've scored one star less simply because it has a big scrape mark down one of the legs - but I've ensured that that side faces the wall, so it doesn't spoil the appearance.  Overall, a great purchase and a total bargain at half price!
