This is a rather lightweight version of those metal shelves that you see in many kitchens.  A little bit smaller than I had envisioned, but the stated measurements are accurate.  It was easy to put together.  Be sure to pay attention to the right side of the shelf to have on top.  It fooled me and I had to redo one of the shelves.  I am happy with my purchase and think for the money this is great.  But I wish I could have afforded something a bit heavier.  It moves around as I try to take towels out of the various shelves.
