This thing seems pretty darn sturdy-- I didn't use all 6 shelves in my bathroom, i could only do 4 with the space i had. So I actually ended up with 2 sets of shelves, one 2 shelf one that I can stick in a closet for even more space! So I'm not unhappy about that.

It was pretty easy to put together-- I got a little overzealous and didn't  continue reading the directions-- make sure you do for the last step, the decorative poles. I didn't put them on correctly, and didn't realize this until I went to put the horizontal poles in-- the holes didn't line up right.
