This hall tree is now residing in my home. The vintage black color is a very close color to my espresso kitchen cabinets, which i love. The item is fairly easy to put together. I was surprised, of course, to find out that the back panel is not wood like the rest of the hall tree. Its that thin cardboard-type-material that you tack on with small nails. It looks really good once its on, though. The construction otherwise is good, and it supports good weight if you want to sit on it to tie your shoes. I dont remember what the listing puts the weight limit at, but it can support a grown man approx 250 lbs with no sign of squeaking or buckling.
The overall look of this item is very good. Im glad I purchased this, because it fits perfectly into the space intended.
Nice color, sturdy
