This is a beautiful coat rack for the price.  I had to pay a little extra for the oak color, but it was well worth it.  I is a good looking coat rack.  The base is so heavy and sturdy, you do not have to worry about it falling over with the weight of several coats.  The only bad to me if the not so pretty color of the base.  It was not enough for me to take off a star, but I wish the base could have been the same color as the rest of the stand.
