We hang all our winter coats, rain gear, and hats on this coat rack all winter.  It's a brushed steel look. The base is heavy enough for the rack to feel solid.  My only complaint is that the stand can get wobbly after a lot of use in the base.  To correct that is simple, but a pain.  You have to take everything off, lay it on its side, and rotate the base back to a tight fit.  However, this isn't major.  If you're looking for a simple coat rack, this works fine.  In retrospect, I wish I had installed a bunch of attractive hooks on the wall for the same purpose - would have taken up far less space and been neater looking (maybe).
