Well packaged and labeled parts, the assembly instructions were very clear and easy to follow. One tip is to make sure you screw on the rubber feet before flipping it upright. I like the industrial style, the metal frame is a powered matte black and the wooden seat is hefty in weight. However, I knocked off a star because it was not very sturdy when finished—it easily wobbled when trying to hang something. It does come with wall anchors but they were too short for me to use since the hall tree was not flush against the wall given the extended shoe molding at the floor base. Overall would recommend if you are planning to install against a wall.
