I ordered this hall tree and it arrived earlier than expected and was very heavy (70#) in package. My husband and I put it together in about 2-3 hours but the directions were ONLY pictures and a little bit confusing. We definitely needed 2 people to put it together since you have to hold pieces while the other person screws things in. Luckily, I've put enough Legos together with my son that we could figure out the pictures fairly easily--but we did make some mistakes and had to go back and start some steps over. Some of the hardware was missing (not enough of the longer wooden dowels) so we used some smaller ones and some super glue. There were some dark stains (dirt?) on the part you nail to the back but it came clean with some soap and elbow grease. The hall tree is made out of cheap particle board type materials but pretty sturdy once everything is put together. It's the perfect size for our entry way and exactly what I wanted for coats and shoe storage. Great value for the price!
