Our new home has no coat closet, so I purchased this so that guests could hang their coats on it (rather than on my staircase posts).  It was fairly easy to put together, although I needed help getting the seat screwed on.  It is not as sturdy as I thought it would be, sitting on the seat and leaning forward to remove your shoes can easily make it fall over.  Solved the problem by using a zip tie to my wrought iron railing.  Anchors were included to attach to the wall, but with a baseboard, it does not sit flush against the wall.  Also, the four legs are not exactly right, it tends to wobble a little, which was easily rectified.  All in all, a good buy for the money.
