I have a very small front entryway so I decided to take out the closet and open it right up and this hall tree was a perfect fit. I was a little worried about how short the seat was before I purchased it but it’s actually a great size and the height is no issue at all. In some reviews people mentioned the hall tree not being the colour advertised and that’s true. It has a grey wash on it but I personally think it looks great. My floors have a grey undertone so it works well for the space. It was easy and fast to put together, it’s well made and sturdy and doesn’t need to be mounted to the wall. I’m very happy with my purchase!
