It looks the way it should however it's really unsteady.  Each shelf or level is held up by black plastic bracket things.  They clip on and off easily which is great.  However,  it's also not the most sturdy and reliable.  You can't carry/lift this without the shelves moving from place if you already have items packed in this.  Basically if you plan on just parking this unit in a closet or somewhere where you won't have to move it around, then it's fine.  But it's not really secure and definitely don't try to lift it from place (if you have things on the shelves) or it'll just fall apart. Also for some reason my package came with random extra parts (screws and plastic zip ties) that I don't think is part of the assembly required. Really disappointed in this.  I don't recommend buying.
