I bought this to go above a similar (but different manufacturer's) entry bench and could not be happier with it.  My tall husband and his tall friend installed it and noted that "it wasn't going anywhere".  The support piece is very sturdy, then the shelf hooks onto that.  We have been hanging our coats, umbrellas and purses from it and I am confident that it will withstand the load.  I would definitely recommend this!

Pros: Sturdy, attractive
Cons: None!
