Though this product is a bit darker, more like an espresso color than what it seems in the photo, it is still looks great.  Assembly not difficult at all.  The Styrofoam packing was the worst part of it all (it went everywhere).  It also has the nasty imported smell, but the product is exactly what I was looking for.  I wanted a coat rack that doubles as a plant stand; hanging plant holder in spring/summer.  It's great for every season.  I love the shelves.  There is even a shelf at the top where the hooks are located  (which I didn't realize).  Form follows function and it holds all our coats, ear muffs, hats and plants and a purse or two - basically whatever we need it to hold, it does.  Thank you to whomever designed this and marketed it!
