Since the word "Steel" is in the name of the item, I assumed that the posts were "steel" tubes. However, when I received it they were actually made of "plastic". I think that it will still be useful, but I'm sure that it will not be as durable as I thought it would be. The price was good so I decided to keep it at least until I can find something better.

Pros: Easy to assemble, very cute
Cons: Not as sturdy as I expected.
