This is definitely sturdy once you figure out how to angle the metal pieces that hold the top to the bottom. That's not entirely intuitive. I love how it looks, and it's great to have the upper tier to save space. Though the thing itself takes up the normal amount of space on the counter. I really like the way it looks on the counter, and feel like it will stay way cleaner than the typical white plastic kind of dish drainer. I love having the cutting board rack attachment so the board(s) don't have to rest on the counter itself. I have three sturdy plastic boards (rather than a thick wood board) and they all fit together in the rack.
