Just love the baskets storage idea. Very easy to put together, shelf is very sturdy and whole rack is stable after tightening the screws. The rack is also relatively small in size, not too tall, not too wide, so fits perfectly in small spaces. I would not recommend real plants on it, since the laminated shelf is not happy with water, but artificial plants are ok. Also since the rack is made of metal, it can rust if outdoors and exposed to moisture. Mine is on the porch, so I sprayed the metal with protective coat and hope it lasts for years like the previous one did.
