The basic product is sturdy and looks as pictured now that it is assembled. I spray painted it black and the new finish looks lovely. However, there were two scratches in the finish (which will be hidden by plants fortunately) and one of the holes drilled for  a bolt was longer and wider than the bolt provided. But after a quick trip to Lowe’s for larger replacement I was able to finish the assembly. I would have given it five stars if it were not for those two problems.
