It looks cool but is a hard no for me. Worn buttons and the like from many of my estates wouldn't work with it I bet.

I also noticed that the pipes are fairly low tier, makes me wonder more.

I was going to say, "No," because I'm clumsy and can imagine it wouldn't take long for me to crash into it doing great damage, but then I realized I've never actually stumbled into any of my table top racks. So I'd probably not buy a rack like this that that hangs on the wall, but I'd be OK with a rack that holds pipes by the stem as long as it sat on a table.
 
Trust it? Ehhhh... I wouldn't lend it any money, but if you lived in a flimsy mobile home or a cardboard box under the interstate ramp, where if someone even touches a wall, it shakes, then no. But, on a secure wall that won't move when the wind blows, it shouldn't let go of those pipes.

Ohhh, I did just buy a new TV... do any of you corncob pipe smokers want the box to add on or extend their houses? puffy

I only trust my rack because it is mounted on a wall of brick/block. It would literally take an earthquake to shake it. It takes a pile of tools to hang a picture in my house. Those tools include a hammer drill.
