I looked all over for a hallway tree that was sturdy, had a nice cushioned bench and shoe rack, and was under 300 dollars. It was surprisingly difficult. This is a great find. It’s made of a hollowed our ironmetal structure and for the part that goes up and leads to where the hooks go, the rods have to fit into each other. One of ours was a bit out of shape and didn’t fit. We used a screw driver to change the oval back to a circle. A vice grip would have worked better but we didn’t have one on hand and were in the middle of assembling it.
It didn’t take too long but the directions aren’t the best. I’m lucky my bf has a knack for putting furniture together.
Ultimately I would recommend, and would have given  it 5 stars for quality if that one rod wasn’t bent.
