Did you >move yours basically intact or did you tear it apart? I have three that sound like the same deal in the utility room being used for magazines, books, extra ziploc bags and dishwasher soap (I buy at Costco...), and misc. junk. They were used for books previously, and have been moved twice. They required a little repair after the second move (new nails on the backing), but otherwise survived. I couldn't call them "sturdy", but they haven't fallen apart yet. I've certainly gotten my money's worth from them over the last 20 years. -- Mike B. -- We are all cast in the same mould, but some are mouldier than others.
