Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great coat rack. Reading some of the other reviews has left me scratching my head. Maybe older orders received a different product? Pictures on other reviews don't seem to depict this one (the one I received looks exactly like the one advertised) and there is no part 'O' as described by another reviewer. I will say that some pictures depict a base that has rounded legs and what looks like one center screw holding it all together, This one has wider, more oval legs on the base, and is held together at the bottom by 4 screws, quite securely. This arrived nicely packaged, all parts intact, no rust, all pieces are heavily lacquered and shiny black. The instructions are pretty self explanatory, and even helpfully tell you in what order you should assemble the parts. The center upright piece does screw in quite snugly to the bottom upright piece (it doesn't just sit in it like a previous reviewer stated, there is a large double ended screw included just for that purpose) and it is quite steady. The screws are secured using a hex wrench which is helpfully included. The screw holes are tight, and do require a bit of elbow grease to get the screws seated snugly, but that is good as it means the screws aren't going anywhere once they are in. I was pleasantly surprised at the size and sturdiness of this coat rack, especially for the budget-minded price. I put it together in about 10 minutes, and it is now holding my 10 lb purse, two hats, and 5 jackets quite well. I purposefully didn't hang things equally, just to see if it would wobble or tip, and it did not. I am very pleased with my purchase!
