Very easy for one person to assemble.  Sturdy base.  Like the rubberized wood material used for hooks as I purchased it to use in the bathroom, next to the tub, to hold towels and heavy terry robe.  Even with only the robe on the rack, there isn’t the slightest hint of it.being tippy.  It is just what I needed.  Tried 2 other racks (from another on-line source) and this is the only one that worked.  Thank you Wayfair!
