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.
