You get what you pay for. This book rack is a bit more flimsy than I would have hoped, but functional.  Fairly easy to put together, maybe 10 mins tops. The white insert is the material I am a bit disappointed in...it's like a cross between a tarp and shower curtain liner. It's not cloth or muslin. On the plus side, it may be easy to clean if my kiddo decides to spill something on it, but on the downside it makes the book rack look a bit cheaper than I'd have liked, since the liner appears plasticky and transparent. But for the price, it'll do the job.
