The Hall Tree itself is very nice. All the pieces fit together well and it is very sturdy. The color is exactly as pictured. The instructions were well written and understandable. We were, however, astonished at how many pieces there were and how many various screws and fasteners required. It took two of us three hours to put it together.  The box it arrived in was very heavy and required two people to carry.  I would order it again.
