Bush Furniture Salinas Hall Tree with Storage Bench in Cape Cod Gray

It was easy to put together. I did need a second person to help hold some pieces, but other than that I put it together alone. It seems sturdy and durable. The only particle board is the backing, but the 3 wood pieces infront of it make it look sturdy and not cheap. I was able to fit a few things on top- box of tissues and a small album

I got the Cape Cod grey which was the perfect shade for my decor. It was very sturdy and not cheap looking. It looks like painted wood not a wood grain sticker. I saw some around this size at The Christmas Tree Shop but they looked cheap and wobbly in comparison.My new hall tree fit perfect in the small space of my apartment foyer entrance way.My 18 yo son assembled it and he said the instructions were clear and easy to follow. It took him about 2 hours to assemble and there were a lot of pieces.It does not move or wobble when you sit on it or hang coats.I really like this purchase and the price point seems about right.

Put your power tool belts on! 4 stars only because it’s so affordable and ultimately cute, but just be prepared for a challenge! It is NOT easy to put together. I read the reviews of other people saying that and I shrugged it off, thinking to myself that I could totally handle it because of how many pieces of IKEA furniture I have under my belt and that the reviewers before me must be fussy wimps. Oh boy - big surprise! This is like leveling up in difficulty from a little street fight with IKEA to a minor boss battle (that maybe you didn’t fully upgrade for yet). Sure, I got it done, so it’s not ”impossible”, but man did I want to give up. I put it together myself, but definitely needed the help of a power tool to do it (screwing it all together by hand would be an ordeal). And heads up! There are no pre-drilled holes to attach the top and bottom pieces so I drilled holes for the first time in my life! It’s kind of together now, but pretty wobbly, because one of the screws just wouldn’t tighten and I ended up stripping it so bad that I couldn’t get it in any further or out again.

We are very happy with the pieces in this collection we have bought. I am so glad we got it. It looks lovely and like the rest of the pieces was well made and easy to set up. Although it may be somewhat time consuming to put furniture together we were impressed with the instructions and the quality of both the furniture and the engineering of the parts and how they fit together. Keeping in mind this is pressed board and the price I paid; this piece and all the furniture I bought exceeded expectations. My partner was able to put this together efficiently and in good time. The hall tree being the piece of least quality is still a good buy and sturdy enough to hold our adult weights.

I don’t write reviews but this product needed some justification after some of the nonsense reviews. Oversized holes? Hard to assemble? I swear some of these people will be quick to say “complete garbage, doesn’t work” not realizing they didn’t plug it in.This furniture piece is great. Looks exactly as advertised, feels strong, assembly was put together with ease. Instructions are very straight forward. Everything lined up perfectly with no flaws. Normally I rely a lot on reviews before purchasing but I do know there are people out there that have no clue what they’re doing. So in a summary, the price is great, quality is there and you will get exactly what you see in the photo.

It looks more expensive than it is

Easy to build, the size was just right, it wasn't missing any parts, It's functionality is great and does it's job.

The product is as described but for some reason I expected it to be larger. The height only came a little above my light switch and looks scrawny (see pic). I was going to attach a light weight mirror to it but that just won’t work.Other details.This is delivered in two boxes.Box 1: A shoe bench as it’s own separate piece of furniture.Box 2: The top hall tree piece.Each of these pieces are easy to assemble individually, but gets tricky and requires two people to attach them together. M The top piece is also not that sturdy so comes w a system to attach it to the wall to secure it.It worked out that it was two pieces for me because I can use the bench without the top. Please make this decision first because once you attaché the hall tree it will mess up the smooth surface of the bench. You have to manually screw through the top of the bench to attach the two pieces together. In my pic it is just sitting on top.For sitting the approved weight limit is only 250 lbs.For hanging items on hooks it is only approved for a total of 5 lbs for all 3 hooks! And 0 lbs for the very top of you wanted to use it to display any small items like a vase or frame.I like that the lower shelve are adjustable which allows you to use for whatever storage you want other then just for shoes. I added baskets to mine or might even make one a bed/cubby for my Chihuahua.The back panel is just cardboard so you can decide if you want to attach or leave it open.
