Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

... by the higher "retail" price of this item. Sure it is a great deal for a coat rack. What is it now, $15? There is a reason this thing is $15. It actually looks pretty nice (like it would be well worth the $15). The problem is that the craftsmanship is complete garbage. The three leg base is not just insufficient to handle any load (including just three fall coats), but it split and fell apart within 4 hours of putting it together. Okay, I can see your thought process panning out already. Yes, I am a very capable "handyman" if you will, and fully capable of correctly putting together a few pieces of wood that screw together. No, I did not beat the legs in place with a hammer. :) The area at the bottom of the rack if very thin as it has been slotted to allow for the three legs to be installed. This thin material makes cracking or complete splitting very likely (trust me, I have first hand experience now). The thin material and weak construction leads to a very unstable coat rack that will tip with minimal weight placed on it (that is if you can even get to the point of being able to hang coats on it). Now I never take time to write reviews, and have bought hundreds of products on Amazon. So you can understand that it took a lot of motivation for me to actually do so. I would never recommend this product to anyone, and ask that you consider spending a little more on a better made product. Best of luck!
