What I love about this hall tree is  . . . everything! It's not too wide for the hallway it was purchased for, and the shelves make it extra nice to drop keys, gloves, sunglasses etc. I put a boot tray underneath it that makes it perfect for sitting down and removing those muddy/wet shoes and place them immediately under the bench while grabbing a clean pair to go into the residence with! Getting another one for the back entrance!
