I am grateful to find this hall tree.  It was the only one with a small enough width for the space in my hall.  The 4 large double hooks allow us to hang coats purses bags keys umbrellas etc.  Also, the back design provides access to a light switch on the wall.  It arrived in perfect condition and appears to be a very sturdy little bench.   The split bench allows you to sit on one side and open the other--good for someone with a hurt back.   We fill the bench with shoes and it is tall enough for boots.  The only down side was the 3-hour job to assemble it (not so good for someone with a hurt back) but I would buy it again and I recommend this bench very highly to anyone who wants to feel happy to see it every time they walk in the door.

Pros: Design
Cons: Assembly
