Definitely not as sturdy as a log holder should be. The welding on the bottom is very shoddy and incomplete in one spot so that there is a hole between the parts. The holes also don’t perfectly align, so you really do have to play with it and at times force the screw through. The screws are also silver so you can clearly see them. I am keeping this outdoors as informal storage, so not a huge deal, but I would not use this indoors or as a display because it’s not aesthetically nice enough and also wouldn’t be safe with little kids around.
