After reading all the reviews I am glad I ordered this. It is like a strong cardboard and serves it's purpose. I won't be using this as a seat or putting anything on top of it...this fits perfectly on top of my shelf in my walk in closet and looks great! Glad I bought 2 because side by side they look so organized! As horrible as some people make this out to be, it sells out quick and is so hard to find!  In my opinion it wasn't so expensive either. Going to the supermarket and using cardboard is a joke and would look tacky and horrible. It's def not made of wood etc but it works great for it's purpose. My closet looks great!
