Exactly what we needed in our wide hallway! We have a giant hall closet but it’s really not convenient for coming in from the garage and dropping shoes and coats which mean they end up everywhere! I needed something with enough storage for shoes, coats, baby carriers, bags etc. I also wanted a bench to sit down and put shoes on. 

It doesn’t extend too far so it doesn’t impede the flow of traffic in the hallway which was important with wild toddlers who run EVERYWHERE! And it included a child proofing strap which makes it feel even more sturdy. 

This hall tree was super easy to assemble and I was able to buy a matching bookshelf to sit next to it and fill the space.
