I wanted something in my closet to put my hat stands without taking up a lot of space.  Something where I could visually see them instantly and decide which hat to wear. This shelf did the trick.  I put it at the end of my walk-in closet to add a little more space and it is perfect to put my hats so they won't get all crinkled up and I can actually see them instantly when I walk into the closet.  Great sturdy stand.  Exactly what I was looking for.
