This is exactly what we needed in our entry way, and  it was very easy to assemble. The framework is good sturdy quality without being wicked heavy and there is a strap and anchor to secure it to the wall. The shelving is not flimsy. I would like a little more height between the shelving to accommodate the height of work boots. Other than that it blends nicely into the room and who can't use 12 coat/hat hooks?
