If the directions were better, I would have rated this better.  The color shows white...it is not, it’s off white cream, so I’m not putting it where I bought it for.  I suggest in addition to labeling the pieces with a,b,c...on each piece you label l for left and r for right...it would save time in building it and frustration in redoing it.  I think it is sturdy and would recommend using the wall strap provided.  There were some dings and some pieces not planed enough before painting to fit together without a slight space.  I have decided to put it in the garage by the house entrance door because I don’t want to have to paint it white.  It will be used nonetheless.  As in all things, when you can’t be there to judge important elements before you buy, you need to be flexible or prepare for disappointment.  Hope this review helps.
