These are not the most stable, they were a little wobbly when put together but once the cardboard backing was added, it stabilized some. I wish the backing was a little more sturdy than just a piece of cardboard but that's what it is. Also, one of the cardboard backs was a little crooked and I had to trim one edge so that it wasn't visible. They're for my kid's rooms so we're making it work, but would not order them again for any other room.
