We really like this piece in our utility room.  Our utility room is not as big as we would like and we were so glad to find this size piece as it fits perfectly in that room.  Now we have a place for my husband to put his camera things on or in and hang our jackets and my purse and tote I carry back and forth to work. My husband assembled it and I didn't hear any complaints so apparently it wasn't difficult to do.  Great for us!
