Modern Style Black Finish Metal Eight Hook Coat Hat Rack

Modern Style Black Finish Metal Eight Hook Coat Hat Rack

Pros:

Functional, fits my needs for it. I have read reviews regarding problems with this. I, too, found the base to be wobbly, at first. Then I removed the screw for the base (which I installed originally) & re-installed it. This time, it worked correctly and the base is no longer wobbly.

Cons: Assembly directions are pathetic. However, if you can work jigsaw puzzles, you can figure the assembly out. I did have to re-do several of the screws to get it to fit correctly (a pain but worth it in the long run). One of the arms just will not fit correctly so I will put only light weight clothes upon it (it does not detract from the overall form nor appearance). I am a 62 year old woman. If I can assemble it, so can you.

Description: As advertised, black finish metal, etc (it is not wrought iron). This is a fairly light-weight piece of furniture but the base is stable so will hold a lot of clothes/coats (remember to balance the coats to prevent tipping over). The poles (upright) & arms are hollow but somewhat large and sturdy. The tips (which you insert into arms) are smooth & rounded. This is a purely functional piece of furniture -not attractive -but holds a lot of clothes/coats. It stays in my bedroom. I don't have tipping over problems.

I place purses, coats, cameras, a variety of clothes (caps, scarves, slacks, sweaters, etc) upon it -anything which hangs. I even have some computer cords (hdmi, etc -things I use frequently) hanging on it. The rounded tips on the arms are a definite plus in my opinion as I don't have to worry about anything tearing on it. The eight arms are a definite plus also. I wish it had more arms!

Summary: I like this piece of furniture. I would buy it again. It did not arrive in a timely manner but did finally arrive. The seller responded immediately to my inquiry. I believe the transportation company was at fault. The package was damaged but the product was not. I gave this product 3 stars because of the assembly instructions (or lack of) which required re-doing some of the work, which was a pain in the neck & because this in not an attractive piece of furniture. Otherwise I would have given it 4 stars. It gets 4 1/2 stars for functionality.

UPDATE:

May 21, 2011 -After having this over 1 year, I give it a 5 star rating because of durability and the fact that I can put so much on it (computer cords, electrical cords, clothes, cameras, anything that will hang). This coat hanger remains very stable & useful. I do hope the company has updated its assembly instructions. I would buy it again.

This coat tree is fabulous! Though it does require assembly, it took my 13-year-old sister 10 minutes to put together. The design is very nice-looking, and it can handle a very large load of coats. I put a coat on every hook (most of them heavy winter coats) with the tree standing on carpet, and it didn't so much as waiver. I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone a great bargain!!

Given that so many of the coat trees reviewed on Amazon received such dismal reviews (eg that a given coat tree would tip over if you hang more than a windbreaker on it), I wanted to share that I think this coat tree works quite well. I have not yet fully loaded it up, but I've hung several coats on it and have not yet had a problem. The only thing I don't love about it is that the base is a bit wobbly. But it still works fine. And given the cheap price and its ability to do the job, I think this is a great value.
