It's sturdy, a bit of left to right movement, but nothing forward and back which is what matters for this use.
If you can do it for $29 + a case, I'll take five. The pipework plus labour to get the ends threaded was $50. Those wooden uprights are 15*15cm, so a little over $200 of wood.
Plus Alec Guiness used shit loads of it in The Bridge over the River Qwai. Those old timers knew what they were doing.
