I was super excited to see how this would work in my apartment, however I am so underwhelmed. The piece works, but its shorter than I thought it would be and really flimsy. It doesn't sit flat against the wall because the pieces are uneven (a manufacturing defect) but I placed it in a way that you can't really tell. Also there are only two rungs that actually are screwed into the piece, the other 3 just sit in there. This will work until I can buy a better quality one. I don't think its worth $50+ though.
