I wanted a hall tree to place in the area where we enter from the garage into the house which is near the grand room.  This was the perfect size and color as it matched all my furniture.  It has a nice bench on which to sit to remove shoes and store inside.  The top shelf is perfect for purses (now I know where to find it) and the hooks are great for coats.  They are not hanging on the kitchen chairs.  It took about an hour for my husband to put it together and as he did, he commented how well made it was and there was extra hardware.

Pros: It's beautiful!  Just like the picture
Cons: I would have liked it a little taller
