We absolutely love this hall tree! It looks great and is functional for exactly what we need. I will say, the building process is NOT fun. My boyfriend and I have built everything in our house and the instructions provided have never been a problem until this piece. Very confusing, but doable. The wooden dowels used are also useless. The dowels are equally as big as the holes and provide no right support when trying to combine pieces, especially the shelves where the shoes go. NEED AT LEAST 2 people for sure!
