The pile of scattered shoes was starting to bother me and a shoe bench was needed. Browsing thru eventually got me eyeing this item. It turned out to be what I needed: a shoe rack and a sort of living room accessory to fill the blank wall/ space next to the front door. With this piece, now my living room has achieved a more balanced look. The dark wood color and the steel rods look pretty rustic yet classy. The illustrated manual (no words) is pretty easy enuff to follow as all the parts and diff type screws are labeled. Assembly is still tedious however. I only had to bend down like 80x to pick up the darn allen wrench as it kept sliding from my grip along with other parts that I also kept dropping when in my hand. And then the pre/drilled holes for the coat hooks are too tiny, you need to enlarge the holes some before screwing the hooks into themJust too much hard labor involved it really drained me after 2.5 hrs of putting it together. Im happy with the end look tho. Good quality.
Happy to have it
