This coat rack is very stable when loaded, which is what I was looking for. Very good value. It is simple to assemble, although after reading other reviews regarding the process I chose to slightly increase the size of the pre-drilled holes, which took a bit more time. But no big deal, as the final result was just fine. I was surprised that the hooks had flat surfaces that didn't match the roundness of the pole, which made the two pre-drilled holes per hook not line up nor allow the hooks to be flush with the pole's surface. The final result was satisfactory with me however, and I would buy the product again. 

Pros: Stable, with enough hooks to hang coats, hats and dog leashes.
Cons: Flat backed hooks not flush with round pole. Pre-drilled holes don't line up and aren't large enough and had to be enlarged.
