This thing is perfect for my space in the back entry way. Exactly right for easy coat, scarf, hat, and glove storage right by the door. Coats don't fall off the hooks when brushes, as sometimes happens with pegs. It's especially great for allowing wet coats, etc, to dry. You can hang coats and scarves without overlap (as long as there aren't too many), and the open shelf above allows circulations for the hats and gloves laid out on it. Sturdy. Attractive design. Doesn't take up floor space like a coat tree.
