I ordered this hall tree because it had the smallest depth. I was worried about being able to get by if I ordered a bigger one. Although the particle board back is chintzy, I'm very happy with it overall. It's not really sturdy, though I'll admit I didn't anchor it to the wall like the directions say to. I'm happy with my purchase. It does what it's supposed to do and helps us not accumulate as many coats and bags on the kitchen chairs.
