Very beautiful piece, goes well with my rustic style home.  The hooks are screwed in with two screws that would make me dubious of hanging anything heavier than a heavy sweatshirt.  Other than that, this is a very sturdy hall tree.  It makes for a nice backboard for seasonal decorating too.  One word to the wise, you will spend a good bit of time assembling the back of the tree due to the design.  In retrospect, I would have placed these pieces on a table to assemble them as I ended up hunched over on the floor which was quite uncomfortable for me.  Still, very happy with this purchase!!
