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.

The product was exactly what it appeared on the web site. It was very easy to put together. I would recommend it.

It is a great value for the low price. I needed it in my spare bedroom, for lack of closet space, and it is perfect!

Eight hook coat hat rack. One of hooks defective. Sent back description to company in California as per instructions. Letter returned. Wrote poor review for Athomemart. Customer service rep called to ask to remove poor review and part will be replaced in two days. Am still waiting for part. Supposedly in the mail but given wrong ups tracking number. This has been going on since February. I feel that I am getting a runaround. S. Friedman

This rack broke within 30 seconds of putting it together. The weld which attached the pole to the base failed.

It's a good product for the price. I wanted a cheap coat rack and this was the best deal (20 bucks) I could find. The coat rack is made of metal, has good finish and is strong but the only disadvantage with it is you can't hang heavy coats because it tends to tip off the ground. The base of the stand is about 2 feet (not huge) and hence not stable....it's good for medium and light jackets. If you have a couple of heavy ones...make sure you hang them on the opposite sides to balance it. overall its a great product for the price. would recommend it for small and medium homes.

Great coat rack for the price. It's very original in design and accents my home. It's been very durable all thru last winter and now for another one to come.

I bought one of these for work and it is great. I plan to buy another for my home.
