VASAGLE Coat Rack Shoe Bench With Mirror

This hall tree fit behind the door of my 550ft² apt perfectly! Its sturdy and went together easily. It was a great value for the money and I love it more in person than I thought I would. I prefer a flat hook to a pointy hook, so I swapped the hooks out for some flat black ones that have the option of folding up. That was purely personal choice, and it was very easy to do if you prefer a different style. I also ordered a separate shelf to hang above it to soften the lines and add some decor. I
have an exposed brick wall in that room, and found the wood to really compliment it! I highly recommend this piece!

works well and as described. easy to assemble.

It went together easy enough, but I had two bolts/threaded inserts that were either bent or that came with stripped out threads. Looks good from a distance, does it’s job, but you can tell when you look close that the joints don’t match up square. It holds shoes and coats, and for the price I dont know if I’d expect anything more.

I would highly recommend having an electric drill to assemble just because they’re quite a few screws. The majority of the frame uses (I think) 4mm hex heads, but I used a 5/32 bit for the majority of the length, then tightened with the included hand key. Like others have said, the hangers themselves are a bit rough to install. I put a piece of the packing Styrofoam and placed it underneath the boards so I could bare my entire weight into the screwdriver (phillips head). Even with an electric drill it was kind of tough to screw in because the pilots weren’t real pilots, and the hanger head got in the way of the electric drill head. There’s 2 screws per hanger, and if you’re not careful you might not sink into the board flush.

I thought it was very thoughtful to manufacture the piece in such a way that the mirror could be on either the left or right. Also, the shoe rack can be marginally adjusted via having 3 options. The instructions direct you to have the rack be even on the top and bottom, but if you plan to put ankle-high boots in the rack, then there is also a higher and lower hole if you prefer to have the boots on the top rack or bottom.

I don’t use the included wall mounts. Yes, the top wiggles slightly, but I have it loaded with coats and sweaters and it doesn’t look like it’s peeling from the wall or anything. The top frame wiggles slightly when I sit on the bench, but not to the point it’s bumping the wall behind it or me or anything like that.

It’s not a piece of furniture that’ll get passed down through the generations, but it’s hyper functional, sturdy enough to last however long, looks fine, and is a great value. Would highly recommend!
