This backsplash is VERY sturdy, yet came to me out of the package with bent corners. And trust me, they are NOT easy to bend back in place as the metal is thick, pro and a con right there! Be VERY CAREFUL installing this AND using it once it’s up, as the metal edges are extremely sharp and I sliced my finger on the edge of the shelf. I will be filing the edges to helpfully prevent that from happening again. Right there the negative. It looks fantastic up, and is extremely heavy and sturdy. Pain the clean because of the shelves and the sharp edges. Lot of pros and cons to this piece.
