Pros:  style, easy to assemble, sturdy, quick delivery

Cons:  Bought as a set and colors aren’t the same (coat rack is much redder and darker than the bench), black bracket coating on bench easily scratches and exposes metal.

Overall, I like it a lot and will keep it.  I will refinishing the woods to match and/or spray paint the brackets if it continues to bother me when put in place.
