It seems pretty sturdy. I like the fact it’s all real wood. One of the big screws broke off in the wood but it seemed to be holding it together so I kept going. It was rather easy to put together, I had to study the diagrams a bit to be sure the right parts faced out. The only tricky parts  were the brackets, they are so tiny and I had a hard time getting the screws all the way in. I finally resorted to my power screwdriver. It is nice looking and only time will tell if the hooks hold up with the coming winter months.
