Not quite as solid as I was hoping. But, will do the job. I added another mount hole to the top, as I am using it as a bookshelf and the weight is on the heavier side. The shelves are clearly laminated faux wood when your up close to it. But, overall the fit and finish is excellent. I can reccomend the product. But, it is better suited to lighter weight items than just all books. Not quite as industrial as it appears.
