Appearance is what you'd expect for the price.  Design met my needs, so it was a no brainer.  Two points, no instructions and no feet.  Instructions aren't needed but would be helpful for those less mechanically included.  Assemble frame hand tight, install shelves top to bottom, then tighten the frame bolts.  More importantly, there are no feet, just bare metal at bottom.  If you don't have plastic inserts/feet or felt pads to use, you will scratch up your wood/finished flooring.
