Very sturdy and will not tip over when snatching a paper towel.  I ordered two...one for kitchen and one for laundry room. It does have a Farmhouse and Industrial flair. My husband doesn’t usually comment on my purchases. However, he quickly noted how much he likes this paper 
towel holder.  They both arrived timely and without flaws.  At first, I did think one was broken due to the wire cage being loose from the wood platform.  But, I simply 
pushed the wire back in the holes on the wood platform.  Now, it’s snug as a bug in a rug.
