Very sturdy and attractive.  At first, I was a bit disappointed because I thought it might be too large for where I planned to put it, but now that I've been using it for a few months I'm very happy with the size.  It allows for several utensils and doesn't taper at the bottom which often limits the number of handles that will fit correctly.  It has a nice Farmhouse look, with a high gloss solid white finish.  Very traditional, not trendy.  Will be something I plan on using for several years.
