Inexpensive interim solution for our small house without a hall closet. We have not quite decided on a design style and for less than $50 this is a great storage solution. We are in Florida so we do not have to deal with heavy coats. We are able to keep our two rain coats, umbrella, hats, sneakers and dog leash by the front door. We have not anchored the stand to the wall and do not plan to do so, but the stand is very light and with heavier items or if you have children you might need to. It was easy for my husband to put together by himself and although the box looked a little worse for wear all the parts were intact and damage-free.  Loved the free shipping.
