I love this hall tree. It is exactly what I wanted. We have a small and awkward space in our entryway that I have spent a long time brainstorming on how to fill. It would often turn into a pile of shoes. The finished product fit into my awkward space like a glove, and really opened it up. I love having the bench and the mirror. It all looks really nice. I was able to put the coat rack together on my own in less than an hour. Attaching the mirror was the hardest and most precarious part, I definitely recommend getting help with the mirror. Speaking of the mirror, it can go on either side of the coat rack, but you have to make that decision before you start. The directions are really good if you take your time to understand them.
