This may sound silly but I'd never even considered that there was such thing as a standing unit for hanging up coats so i was thrilled to discover this on Wayfair! I have a very small space in my hallway but this fits beautifully against the wall at the bottom of my stairs without causing an obstruction. I'm a very short-tempered person when it comes to DIY but I was so happy that i managed to put this together myself without getting stressed! The price is fantastic for the quality. I wished I'd found one years ago!
