I absolutely love this hall tree. It was exactly what I envisioned for my entry. It arrived quickly and took about 20 minutes or less to assemble. You can attach it to the wall for further security, but I didn't do so. I love the rustic look of the wood bench too. However, do be careful with liquids, as my bench now has a water ring from a kids cup that was left overnight.  Love this item and would buy again
