Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Is it made of pressed wood? Yes. Are the poles plastic? Yes. However, the pressed wood is covered in a nice finish and the poles have a solid feel to them. The display doesn't look cheap once it's set up either. I've seen other, more expensive pieces, that look very cheap when completed. You won't have this problem with the corner rack display. It's also a breeze to set up. It took me 18 minutes, from the time I opened the box to setting it up in a room, to put it together. How can I be so sure? I was cooking a pizza at the same time. The oven timer went off as I tightening the last pole. No more aggravation over assembling part A into part B before finding part C only to realize there is not enough part Bs. Would I trust placing a family heirloom on it? No, I would not. Yes, I love the corner display piece, but I don't think it would be safe to display heavy objects on the shelves. As you can see from the photo, I am using mine to display some Green Lantern pieces. None of the pieces weigh too much. I would also be careful where you place the display shelf. I have other Furinno products that sit flat on hard surfaces with no issues. However, on carpet this pieces wobbles just a wee bit. It's not enough to tip the thing over, but some folks may frown on it. Again, watch what you put on the shelves. All in all the corner display shelf is an awesome purchase. It's inexpensive and easy to assemble. I'll be getting another one if the price is right.
