Great storage for small spaces and medium weight items.
I bought this hall tree to “split the difference” between a deep coat closet that backs up to my kitchen, allowing me an extra 3’w x 2”d spot for a pantry on the other side (instead of what used to be a blank wall/dead space) in my tiny galley style kitchen.
The hall tree arrived with no damage and was easy to assemble. While assembling, I lined the back piece with a peel and stick wallpaper (white with silver branches) to dress it up a bit. The resulting piece looks amazing, and the storage space it provides is adequate for my needs (coat, scarves, umbrella, and shoe storage by the front door).
One thing I would like to add is that, after screwing in the first hook, I unscrewed it and put some super glue on the back of each hook before screwing them both in. They are fairly sturdy and I feel confident hanging heavy coats on them. I’m not sure if this extra step was necessary, but it is made out of particle board and the screws aren’t very long. The hooks could also be better quality - they are lightweight and could potentially bend. I wanted to mention that in case anyone is thinking of buying this for kids. I would say it’s safe for diaper bags and elementary school book bags, but that’s about it.
Lastly, if you’re a guy with larger feet (I’d say 10 1/2+) you may only be able to fit one shoe per cubby hole.
