When I bought this coat rack I was concerned if it would tip over from the weight of the heavy wet chore coats that were going to be hung on it. Not to worry. We put 2 coats and a heavy sherpa jacket on the 3 lower hooks, hats on the top hooks, gloves in a basket on the bottom shelf, and the dogs leash and brush in a basket on the middle shelf. Works out perfect for our needs with a small profile. It arrived quickly and was easy to put together. Score!!
