The unit is attractive and easy to put together. I like how you can do different shape combinations. However, I was under the impression from the pictures that the sides were made of a thin, hard plastic, but they are made of a flexible vinyl. So if you put anything really heavy on the shelves for a long time, I'm assuming they will sag and lose their shape. Not a big deal for me since these are for sweaters in my closet which are pretty light.
