My daughter and family moved in during the construction of their new house.  Needed a place for them to drop coats, backpacks, etc. when coming in the back door.  This worked perfectly!  Love it so much that I have kept it in place after they moved out and it is a perfect place for me to drop my work tote, purse, etc. when coming home.  Holds a lot and takes up very little space in the corner.  Great value!
