I wanted a coat rack that wouldn't take up much room for my 2nd level living area to use for when I had company.  This works great!  I got the cherry finish and it matches well with my other furniture. It was also very easy to assemble. It's not very heavy, though, so you need to be careful of tipping if clothes aren't distributed evenly on it.  But from looking at the picture I expected that to be the case.
