It works, and seems stable, though not incredibly so. I like that it's adjustable in how you space the shelves--large Rubbermaid tubs definitely won't fit on a regularly spaced shelf, so I ended up only using four of the five shelves. My one complaint is that it doesn't come with any sort of felt or rubber padding for the feet. If you want to put this indoors, or on any surface that you care about (don't want to scratch), you'll have to provide your own durable surface. I used felt, but I worry the weight of the shelf will eventually cut through it and scratch my hardwood floor. The shelf should definitely come with hard rubber or some sort of durable footing.
