When I initially opened it I was sad at how lightweight the product felt but it feels pretty sturdy when it’s together. In the assembly instructions, step one says to connect the upright board to the sides right away, but I think it would’ve been easier to put the whole thing together if I had done that last because it made maneuvering the shelf around clumsy. It looks much nicer when put together then when it was in the box! It organizes a lot and takes up very little space. For 50 bucks it’s definitely worth it. I’m giving it five stars because of that. If I had paid more for it I would have been disappointed in the quality.
