This Hall Tree is Perfect for our home. It is just the right size, design and has storage. I am very, very pleased with it. It is easy to assemble and looks great. I use the storage for shoes and pet leashes. Just put a towel in the bottom to absorb and dirt or moisture from shoes and then wash it when it gets dirty and put it back it. It saves me having to clean carpets and floors so often and shoes are handy going out the door. I put extra hat rack centered above hall tree and it holds hats and leaves the Hall Tree for longer items. This is excellent buy and I will certainly be buying from this company again. I look for quality with great prices when I shop and this did not disappoint.
