I just assembled this yesterday and am very happy so far. Assembly was fast and easy with my drill, and the rack feels sturdy. The metal center pole pieces are definitely heavier than the hooks, which should work fine. I have hung my (reasonably heavy) purse on the rack alone with no sign of wobbling— that is a good sign for holding up well!
I love the multiple levels of hooks on this rack. I expect it to allow both kids and adults in our family to hang what they need within a small amount of floor space.
