I have a very cramped “mud room” back entrance and guest have struggled for years to remove the shoes and jackets comfortably. I measured this before I ordered and hoped for the best...and it’s PERFECT! Took a bit of effort to put together but it is solid, great for tight places and everyone who has visited has remarked at how nice it is to be able to sit down, remove their shoes, tuck the shoes on the shelves and hang their jackets. I’m so glad I ordered this!
