Was tired of our over crowded coat rack (4 kids) so we chose this to help organize the chaos at the front door. Assembly was easy but the brittle particle board prevented one screw from serving a purpose (stripped) and the surface where the two wall mounting strips meet has to be painted (paint is supplied) thus generating a 4 star rating. In order to mount this I had to cut open the wall, relocate a wall sconce, re-wire, re-drywall, re-paint, replace all light fixtures in the foyer and paint the rest of the main floor...$1500 later, it looks great!
