I ordered this because I have some hanging plants that were getting too heavy for the curtain rod. I was a little hesitant because the price was a little more than I wanted to spend, but I knew I need something that could handle more weight. I like that this came in black ivory(off white) or gray, and I chose the ivory.It arrived quickly in a fairly small box that was not very heavy. It was super easy to put together.My tip for assembly – when putting poles CNB together, extend A from B, otherwise they don’t want to fit together. And when installing any of the round shelves to the bracket, have the shelf upward in the “storage mode” because it will line up better with the screw holes..This is very sturdy! I like that I did not have to drill. Any holes in my ceiling or walls is completely interchangeable. You can adjust it for your needs and just know the wider you go the less weight it will hold, but it’s still extremely sturdy! I even added a grow light Using zip ties and my plants are happy happy happy makes my room look great and I can’t believe how many plants it actually holds quite a few!I even saved a lower shelf to put snacks and drinks on;) get this you will definitely love it! You could also use this for clothes, and if someone wants to make this more permanent, you could drill some holes through the plastic E end caps for the ceiling on the floor and make it permanent! Or you could add some brackets to the vertical pieces and brace them against the walls. This could be used in a closet and you could put your shoes on the shelves and hats and all kinds of accessories. I think I’m going to order a few more because I can see a lot of uses for this! You can hang grow lights off of it to start your winter seeds. This is just so great.,
