I really liked the look of this valet stand for my husband, because it matches our bedroom furniture very well and seemed like a good deal for the price.  It arrived quickly and I was excited to assemble it, as a surprise.  All of the parts seemed good, and they were wrapped in a nice way to prevent damage to the wood.  However, when I got to the last step to connect the jacket hanger to the base, I encountered a hurdle.  The holes for the metal things to stick into were not aligned.  I couldn't get the piece in (at least not connected securely).  So now my husband will need to drill new holes to get the pieces to fit together properly.  Kind of ruined my surprise.  But overall, he likes the stand!
