I've been looking for a not-your-usual type of freestanding coat rack, and finally found it.  I opted for the silver finish, which fits right in with my contemporary décor.  It's lightweight, yet sturdy.  Assembly isn't complicated, but do to the graceful bends in the metal, it can be a little tricky if you're doing it by yourself.  (Just in terms of holding the long poles at the right angles while screws are fastened.)  Still, I did it alone in about 20 minutes. I'm totally happy with this purchase, and the price was great, too!
