Even though one of the hanger post weld was broken upon opening the box, I still gave it five stars because it is pretty cool -) I love the base as it is versus other designs because this one is sturdy. The colors jive well together. The only reason why I bought this coat rack was so we could hang our Christmas stockings on it and it looks like its going to work out perfect! My husband was able to fix the broken weld and I cant even tell which one it was. I think it would also work well with scarves, hats, and coats. Not sure if it was overcrowded how it would do, but if I remember, I will update a picture once we get the stockings loaded up and hung
