I was excited to get the two alder wood coat racks I ordered but was very disappointed when I opened the package. They are rough to the touch and look like pine with a dark stain on them. We have knotty alder cabinets so I know what that looks like. I read the reviews and thought I was getting something of higher quality. These are overpriced for the materials, especially when the literature included says they use “reclaimed” wood. I wanted to send them back but I would have to pay return shipping so I’m keeping them.
