Pros: wood looks nice, cherry color is beautiful, rack is sturdy and can hold many coats
Cons: Assembly was OK; as other reviewers mention, the slots on the bottom are not all cut properly so some serious shoving/scraping of excess wood is required to get the legs in. It is also not 100% level. We were able to ensure the bottom post was level by adjusting the legs, but then when we attached the middle post it did not screw in level. Final con is that there is too much space between the top of the coat rack and the highest hooks; I think both sets of hooks should be 4-6 inches higher - it looks weird otherwise.
