This fits perfectly in my entry way. I was looking for something small but large enough to store my shoes that unsually stays by the front door, and a coat hanger for visitors. This piece of furniture satisfies all the above. It is steady enough to hold weight and small enough not make your hallway/foyer looks less crowded. I can't speak much on the assembling because by BF did that, but it seem easy enough. I'm very happy with my purchases. If your are looking for something versatile yet unique, this is it.
