Very sturdy! I paired it with the black shelves to lighten up the mug wall.

I rated it 4 stars bc I dont love that the dowl and the shelf are different shades. This is not an issue with the black shelves, black is black, but the different wood tones is odd. My husband thinks it looks nice, but its just odd, to me. If youre like me, keep this in mind! If youre like my husband, youll have no issues! (
