This went together easily enough and seems decently sturdy and is being used to hold spices in my kitchen. It's not an eyesore and is very functional. The only issue I had was with the coupler bushing that connects two poles together to create the tall length. This is a threaded bushing with no stop point, so it will just keep spinning further into the pole you attached it to first as you're attaching the second pole. You could end up with a very small amount of threading in one pole or the other. I tried my best to hold the coupler as I screwed on the second pole to ensure it was sufficiently inside of each pole.
