This is the second of this same hall tree I have purchased. I only had to get a new one because in selling my previous home, the buyer wanted it left with the house! The back panel is not a full sheet of wood, more like a step up from a finishedlaminated cardboard. The hooks do not hold a lot of weight, so I would NOT reccomend if youre looking  to hang kids backpacks (my high schoolers would tear the hooks right off). Overall it does its job and provides an organized space for our familys drop zone. Quality matches the price.
