Really happy with this hall tree. I purchased it in white (true white) and it arrived with good protective packaging and it is very nicely finished--high quality piece for a very good price. Also the hooks are even more substantial than I'd imagined (which I think is great!). I paid for Handy assembly on this item and I'm glad that I did because although the assembly seemed to go smoothly/not too difficult, I think the size of the piece would have been too hard/awkward for me to manage.
