This hall tree looks great in pictures and almost as good when fully assembled. However, assembly is extremely complicated and directions are sub-par, at best. About half of the pieces did not correctly line up with intended screw holes and had to use a drill to correctly line pieces up. If you have a lot of time and more than a simple screwdriver this could work. However, you can likely find just as nice of a product without the headache. The bench cushion is fine, but looks pretty cheap. Will likely replace that as time goes on.
