The assembly of this item was quick and easy.  The item seems sturdy enough for my use.  I wish the cover was a little more adjustable, but it's just a minor gripe.

I'm not sure if the finish is paint or powder coat, but there are noticeable surface issues.  My rack is in a covered area where it's not likely to see much direct contact with water.  However, anyone using the rack out in the elements may want to consider sealing the pieces with some outdoor-ready spray paint.
