I love this hall tree!  It's very rustic and welcoming.  I looked at many different hall tree styles and I really like this one because you can easily put your shoes in the bottom rack and underneath that without having to open a lid for hall trees that have a bench seat.  

I would definitely recommend this product!!  It did not come perfect , as there were a couple of dings but it didn't bother me as it adds to the "rustic" appeal and it came at a great price!
