To help take the weight the shapely sides are fully mortised all the way through the top and the lower shelf is dovetailed into the sides from the back. There are also triangular braces giving additional support . We have used these in the bathroom as well as the kitchen and our kids each had one in their college dorm room as a bookshelf or catch-all. This one has a lovely patina of old worn buttermilk paint. less
