We live in a small condo and I turned my coat closet into a pantry, so I needed something that looked modern in our livingroom to hold our 10 coats.  This product did not dissapoint.  Just like the other reviews said, the base is heavy enough to hold 10-15 winter coats.  It was so easy to put together, the directions are easy to read and straight forward.  Make sure you have a screwdriver.  That's the only tool you'll need.  Reviews are worth a thousand words.  My only comment is to be careful, the black metal scratches easy.  I would recommend this product.
