Very sturdy. Much more functional than the rectangular ones. Could use some hooks but metal S hooks work great.
However, there are two things that I feel one should consider as to this units design before ordering. (I found enough tools and implements that fit that description to make it worth keeping). The S hook anchoring system is efficient enough for that. Make sure you have a corner in mind or planned for it. Anchored meaning it is merely held to the wall, not screwed or bolted to it. The first is to take note that this is a corner unit only.
However if your collection of tools are similar to the ones displayed in the photo here, I would suggest seeking out a higher profile rack. I picked up one of these Rubbermaid racks at a local home center just this past summer. Its sturdy enough and well made in my opinion. The unit comes with a hook that is supposed to "anchor" it to the wall.
Then it will tend to spill and fall over on you. As long as you don't ever go near it or touch it. It will still manage to move, bend, twist around, etc, with every removal and replacement. This one is unfortunately just not high enough for what the picture suggests in my opinion.
This rack is a good choice if you have a corner for it in mind, and if you have a series of low profile yard tools and such that would not tend to overload it. The second thing to consider is the units low profile that pretty much prevents it from holding and storing the very tools that it is pictured with. Its very corner design makes it quite difficult to solidly attach it to a corner wall or floor. And for what Amazon is asking for it, its reasonable enough for what you get.
Anchoring this unit as suggested with an S hook makes it no where near secure enough to handle the tall heavy tools that it is pictured with. Fill this rack up with just what is displayed and you would be just fine. It cannot be placed in a shed or garage against a flat surface without it sticking out and taking up needless room. This unit is under two feet in height, making it very inefficient and unsteady for storing tall rakes and brooms with heavy heads on them like the ones pictured.
They must have taken the picture in the moments before the unit fell over. Could be used for small tools, but not with tools with long handles, like those in the picture. It now resides in an unused corner of my dumpster. I purchased this item to use in the unused corner of my shop. The rack is not tall enough to be stable, and frequently spilled the tools onto the floor.
I'm pleased that tool clutter has been resolved. This corner tool rack does everything it promised to do: sit in an corner and hold tools. Assembly was intuitive, and it took less than 5 minutes.
It holds even the heavy shovels, and does not fall over. Our garage is small, and we are trying to use the space wisely. We purchased this corner tool-stand-er-upper to keep rakes, shovels, brooms, hoes, etc from the usual pile-up, fall down in the corner space.
