I saw many complaints about the whole thing collapsing not assembling properly etc, but I thought I understood the mechanism well enough and believed in it. But when I got it, it became a bit of a struggle to assemble as they do not provide any instructions or link to any video of how to assemble etc. But through some trial and error I could figure out how to assemble and it assembled well and was stable. So I have to say, they are doing a disservice to themselves as most 1 ratings are due to improper assembly as people could not understand how to do it properly.
It is not meant for keeping heavy weights, it is made of bamboo and is very slim and flimsy in a way. But good for shoe rack, keeping some clothes, books (not fully pile up).
