The wife loves this. Shes been asking for a hall tree for many years and I finally got around to researching them.
One thing I wanted to get out of the way as I havent seen anyone specifically answer what parts are solid wood and what parts are not. The only part that is not solid wood, is the bottom of the storage compartment. The bottom is MDF and just sits at the bottom. You could easily cut out a solid piece of wood if you needed to store heavier items in there, but I think it will hold up just fine. Everything else is solid wood and I believe it is pine from what Ive read on other sites and reviews.
One or two of the pieces had some slight damage (a nick in the wood), but for us it sits up against something and we dont see it. It was easy to put together and took about an hour or so. Everything lined up properly and there wasnt any missing hardware. The only thing missing was one of the foam pieces on one of the legs.
For the price, this was worth it and would recommend this over many of the other hall trees I found of similar price or even more... and those other ones were NOT solid wood. Be careful as I saw some labeled as solid wood in the title, but the description clearly said those were mostly MDF, plastic, and/or veneers.
