It's working great. It was pretty easy to put together, looks good, and works well. A great value at around $50.Customer Review: Looks Great, VERY Functional
Summary: 5 Stars
I really don't understand all the folks who have stated there were "no" instructions for assembly, but giving them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps this was corrected when mine arrived. The "instructions" did amount to a single page diagram, but in all honesty, that's all that was needed--if that was. Assembly is quite simple and in less than 30 minutes I had my hat/coat rack up and put to use in my living room. I was going to go with a wooden one; but after close inspection of the reviews they got, (chief concern being stability and broken pegs) I opted for this sturdy piece, and I'm glad I did. It hold all the coats and/or hats you care to put on it, and the round umbrella/cane holder at the bottom is an extra touch of both class, and utility--right down to a small metal bowl-shaped bottom in case a "wet" umbrella is slid into position. I don't regret my choice and would recommend it to anyone in similar circumstances.Customer Review: Looks good enough for the front hall--but tippy
Summary: 3 Stars
Our front closet is so loaded with our own coats that, when we have lots of company, we have to empty our coats on the bed or take our guest coats to a bedroom. So we found this solution, and it works well (sort of). It required some assembly, but nothing tricky (just some time). It fits in with our traditional decor, and there is plenty of space to hang coats and scarves and hats. But it's a good thing I took aircraft loadmaster training several years back, since I am always having to rebalance the thing around its ever-shifting center of gravity to make sure it doesn't tip over. Still, it's much easier than hauling coats up and down the stairs.Customer Review: No coat closet? Buy this.

This is a good product at a great price. Previously, we owned a wooden coat tree which wore out quickly, was heavy and easily tipped over by our small children. This coat tree, while a bit shorter than our first one, is lightweight, sturdy and stable. I also like the fact that it has mutiple places to hang things. The umbrella stand at the bottom is great for putting the kid's shoes in as well.Customer Review: No more throwing coats on my dining room table
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm so thrilled to have this item. Instead of throwing our coats on the first thing (the dining room table) when we come through the door and throwing my purse in the corner with the umbrellas that always fall over, I have this wonderful coat rack!
It's a bit shorter than I expected, but that actually turned out better since it's easier to put coats on the top pegs and makes it less unstable. I expected it to be as tall as my door, maybe, but it's probably about 6-7 inches shy of the top of the doorframe and only a couple inches taller than me (I'm 5'3").
The item seems perfectly stable, I've got several coats and bags hanging off of it.
The assembly was a snap. After reading the reviews, I was expecting the worst, but I guess b/c of that expectation, the little paper diagram was a lot more helpful than I thought it would be. My husband & I are frequent DIY-ers though. But the two of us with the included allen-wrench and our phillips head screwdriver had the thing together in 10 minutes. The only thing that took a little deliberating was in what order we would snap together the three poles that made the main shaft. We figured the pole with all the holes would go at the top (since the holes were for attaching the hooks), the pole with tapered ends on both ends was for the middle, and the pole with the flat end with the screw opening went on the bottom.
One bit of concern is that the circular caps that attach to the end of the coat hooks and on the bottom of the stand's feet could potentially pop off and get lost when you're pulling a coat off the hook. I'll probably take them off and reattach using superglue. I'm a bit concerned also that my toddler can pull the cap off the ones at the feet and it could be a choking hazard.
Otherwise, love the stand. Would highly recommend it.
