At first glance, I thought this stand was made of wood, but it's not, It's a mat finished metal and works and looks quite well. It has 6 round silver knobs to hang things on, two little center shelves and the large top protrusions of each of the three black stems. I hang baseball caps off of them. Nothing is going to make a large amount of hanging jackets and coats look very neat, but this comes close. It's the best freestanding coat rack I've come across and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
