This coat rack is substantial. Was fairly easy to assemble and holds more than I ever suspected it would. I now have three heavy winter coats, two umbrellas, four pair of gloves, two hats and a dog sweater on various parts of the stand and there's still room for more. I like the 17 and 1/2 inch base size as it easily fits beside or behind a door. It is a definite five star, looks nice and definitely does the job. When you have a wet jacket you can spread it over 3 of the hooks and let it dry quickly. Made in the USA makes it even better!
