I love this hall tree/coat rack. I ordered it as a Christmas present to myself. I needed something to put by the front door to organize dog collars and leashes, and still have room for a couple of coats and/or purses. There's also room for a hat on top. I wanted something with a small footprint that was uniquely different than the usual turned wood, or iron coat racks. This fits the bill perfectly. It arrived two days earlier than expected. It was wrapped in bubble wrap inside a box within a shipping box. It's heavy and very sturdy and will not topple over even if loaded with unbalanced items. It even has screw-in feet that can be individually adjusted for uneven floors. It also came fully assembled. All I had to do was open the boxes, remove the bubble wrap, stand it up and it was ready to use. I highly recommend this seller, shipper, and product.
