Was exactly what I wanted. It was not too wide, as it was used in a walkway and I wanted enough room to pass comfortably. However, the corners are sharp and not kid friendly if you use it where I’m using it. Putting together was super easy, although I had to reassemble my first set as the metal pieces can easily become over-torqued and lose. Most definitely need to mount to the wall as it is a little unstable. Even anchored in, it wiggles a little. Overall I love it, but giving 4 stars because I wished it was more stable. I would be nervous putting heavy items on here.
