It is MUCH BIGGER and (happily!) also much more sturdy than I expected.  Put it in our Master BR for my husband to hang his jackets, sweaters, robe, exercise clothes, pj's, and to stash his multiple pairs of slippers and running shoes that would otherwise be sticking out from under the bed. ;)  Our BR looks a LOT neater now! Thought about getting a second one of these for the front hallway, but decided to order just one so I could check to make sure it would fit the front hallway first.  Sadly, it would stick out too far into the hallway, so it's back to the drawing board for me to find something different for the hall - maybe something that goes up against the wall.  Anyway, as for this coat rack, it worked out well for us, and the quality is very good.
