I bought this because of the design and size. I am using it for my patio to hang pool towels and such. For that purpose it is perfect and the price was right! Like other reviewers said, it is extremely easy to assemble (I am a 64 yr old female) but, there are no holes to attach the hooks. The wood is soft so a small drill worked easily to drill the holes but, it would have been nice if the areas were at least marked off so that the hooks would be even. Also the stain wipes right off (I used tape to secure the hooks in order to mark the location before drilling the holes and the stain came off with the tape, see photo). I may re stain for a more even look. Since I am using this outside, I will be coating with poly acrylic to seal it. It is good looking and I would probably buy again because I couldn't find anything else that fit my needs.
