Not quite what I expected.  The wood pieces are only 1/4" thick, so it's a bit flimsy.  We had to glue another piece of wood to the back to make it stronger. The mounting brackets included were only "picture frame" type brackets --- for hanging decorative items, but not functional for pulling towels off (without pulling the holder off the wall each time).  So we drilled holes in the extra piece of wood we added to the back so it could be securely mounted to the wall.
