So I wasn't sure when I bought this how it would look, but it's fantastic!  We are using it right inside our door that opens from our garage.  The combination of the steel bars and dark wood is very attractive.

My fiancée put it together quickly.  No written directions, just drawn pictures, but he's good at that stuff.   We still put a small matching rug underneath, so that a few shoes can fit on the floor.

Pros: Attractive, easy to assemble
