Keep in mind what you are paying for this rack. I was not looking to spend a lot of money. Yes the poles are plastic, but I knew that before I purchased it. It worked perfectly for my needs and I think its attractive. It is a little wobbly, but easy fix. I put 3 felt pads under 2 of the legs which worked well. I would buy this rack again. However, if you are looking for high end, its not for you.
