This rack is well made yet there are some key areas I want to let others know about during assembly. There's no instruction or pictorial guide, just the video on this product page. Here's a couple of things I learned.1. Be VERY careful with the rails, they're sharp and will cut. Stand to the outside while this rack comes together and do wear shoes.2. Be very careful with the 4 support corners, again these are very sharp and during a few steps the corners will be exposed and if you turn wrong they will cut you so caution or painters tape during assembly.3. Make sure the two support beams with holes (they're wrapped separate ) for the support corners matched with the holes on the rack prior to laying out the others. It is easy to put the wrong support beam so this is simply awareness, lining up those two before hand will help avoid wrong placement.4. Check all areas the posts connect, if crushed in shipping (we had two) pliers and a very gentle hand can get them back into shape close enough to slide the support beams on. You will have a sharp corner as you cannot bend it perfectly but a file after assembly can take care of any sticking out dangerously. (Note; this is only if any of the structure get bent in shipping, we had two that got bent.Overall, once it is together, it is a solid rack and seems to be sturdy enough to work in any environment mentioned (my wife's using it as a drying rack for her paintings). I will note, the assembly is not hard but there are parts of the rack that will cut during assembly so just be careful during that stage.
