Our new house does not have a closet on the main level for coats, boots, umbrellas, etc so this piece was perfect. It was fairly easy to put together, just make sure you look at the pictures VERY closely. Attaching the hooks required some of our own tools, but not a big deal. Our baseboards prevented us from securing it to the wall, which doesn't matter to us, just be careful with small children. Overall a good looking and functional piece at a reasonable price.
