A bit cheap - but I guess you get what you pay for.  The "metal" ring at the base (which is actually plastic) was broken in the package when I received it, but I probably would not have used it anyway since it did look quite cheap.  The rack is solid - and very much as pictured, but the material  is synthetic and close-up it is obvious.  That said, it is very sturdy.  I like the way it looks in my entryway, and it was really easy to put together.  I would buy it again - but would have lower expectations.
