There was a part of the directions where you switch it from lying on its back to front side down. We hesitated, but followed directions to the T. The screws came out and the press wood split. We were able to buy brackets to keep it together, but it was frustrating since we did what the directions advised.
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. It's that thin cardboard-type-material that you tack on with small nails. It looks really good once it's on, though. The construction otherwise is good, and it supports good weight if you want to sit on it to tie your shoes. I don't 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. I'm glad I purchased this, because it fits perfectly into the space intended.
Overall pleased with this piece and fairly easy to put together. Only piece of advice to pass along...be careful peeling off the stickers which are on each board. The one took off a layer of the paint/finish.
Initially had an issue in that two different colors were shipped. Contacted seller and they immediately remedied the situation. Attractive and practical for what I was looking for.

Cheap but works
This is okay, not very good material. My wife ordered the wrong one. I think the other was much better quality material.
Nice color, sturdy

Nice product for the price
Went together easily, looks nice
Looks good but needs improvement
Top part of rack fits loose
Okay
Works for what we needed, just a little smaller than we thought it would be
Good storage poor quality
Great storage, looks great, but quality is poor will probably not survive a move.
Good product
Good product for a small area. This will help keep the kids school things together.
Great entryway piece
