I am not someone who is good at putting things together and this was EASY! All of the stuff was labeled and separated so it wasn't a guessing game and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. Awesome quality and it looks super nice!

I love the color, and the spaces for storage of items. I finally have a place to keep all my hats on top, my coats hung up instead of on the back of a chair, and all my shoes and boots will fit down below. Also a place to sit while taking them off or putting them on. Very handy, and the price is decent too for what you get. Not too expensive, but not a cheap piece of junk either.

Actually sturdier than thought. Not tied to wall. Was fairly easy to put together. Looks good. Very handy would buy another

I absolutely love my hall tree. I have it between my bedroom and my bathroom and I put my laundry basket on it and the bags that I take with me most often and my most used shoes and it's just fantastic. Really nice quality and feels very sturdy and well made, especially considering the fact that it was an Amazon kit. I'm very impressed for that. Feels nice, looks nice, I use it every single day and I love it. Paid $65 on Prime Day. It was available for a bit over $70 a few days later as well, just for refrence.

Suits my purpose is perfectly. All I really wanted was something to put my daily wear shoes in and my laundry basket on. I got that and more. I love the ability to hang bags and hats and random things on it as well as using it as a laundry unloading station with my fresh laundry. It has the clothing rack for hangers and plenty of space on the bench to unload. I also like being able to sit down and put my shoes on.

You can fit four to five pairs of tennis shoes across on their own (more if you don't care about easy access). Or if you have cats who chew shoelaces like me, you can put bins in there to work as drawers and fit a few less. If you don't have cats who would pull them out and use them as toys, you could even put sandals underneath the bottom shelf.

I bought this on sale for $70. I'm satisfied with it.

(1) The instructions weren't that bad. (There was really only one ambiguous step, and it was easy to make an educated guess at the right way to go. Surprised by the ordering of one of the steps because some bars were hanging there for a while, but whatever.)

(2) It definitely is labor intensive - the most painful step is screwing in 24 small wood screws to get the hooks attached. And it takes a bit of skill to get them all vertically parallel. Got a big blister from all the screwing. And the angles made it hard to use power tools - ended up screwing in by hand because it was easier to stay vertical next to the hook.

(3) I weight 170 pounds and honestly the bench seems fine for supporting my weight. I was worried from the other reviews. But my trick was to leave things a little loose until the end and then really tighten everything once it was all together. I think really tightening at the end prevents any squeaky rocking. But only used it one day so far, so we'll see.

Overall this is definitely cheap, but feels totally fine. It's cheap in a cheap way, not cheap in a junky knockoff way. Would buy again. Looks great.
