I had bought a different "tree" like coat tree last year which ended up falling over with any weight of coats and then ceased to fully connect to form one trunk. Very dissapointing as the design was beautiful. In looking for a replacement, I found this one which was being highly rated, especially for it's sturdy and strong base. I love it. There was some problem with the screws but that proved to be minor, only needing more hand strength than I have. It was readily put to use at the entrance of our apartment, with ample "branches" to hang coats of visiting guests.  

Pros: Great value, easy assembly, strong and secure build.
Cons: Screws were somewhat hard to install.
