I needed something that I could use to store herbs outdoors during the summer then move indoors in the fall, and this is absolutely perfect for it. It was incredibly simple to put together by myself, and it has held up to a few serious storms with no issues (I do have it ziptied to my fence for security). I also like that i can keep some heavier ceramic pots on the outward facing shelves and they show no signs of distress or damage.
