Pretty sturdy overall. It was easy to install and holds a surprising amount of weight (the Swiffer bottle is full in the photo). My only complaint is that there are only two screws on the ends, so if you try to pull something out from the middle it twitches. also the middle of the rod, which eventually takes everything down. It came with a strip of 3M tape which I think could have served as insurance against this but the screw in the middle would have been more secure and wouldn't have stripped the paint.
