Product looks cool, but the bottom makes it unsteady, especially on a rug. If we had kids, I would have bolted it to the wall to make sure it would not fall over. It arrived with damages to three of the boards. Putting it togehter required a thorough plan to make sure all the damaged boards faced in the same direction, against the wall. Therefore, I can't use it standing free in the middle of a room, but then again, it being so unstable I would not let it stand free in a room anyways.
