This is a great addition to our home. Very well made. Other reviews said that the unit would have a strong smell (kinda like paint fumes), and they were right. It took about a week for the smell to go away. I recommend that you open it in your garage to air out (if you have one). One of the hooks came broken. In the directions it said to contact the manufacturer, which we did and they sent us a new hook within a few days. I still recommend this unit.
