Monarch Specialties Coat Rack - Coat Tree with 8 Hooks, Hammered Metal 74" H (Black)

I got this coat rack to hang my purse collection on. It was simple enough to assemble (despite a handful of reviews claiming otherwise) and seems to be pretty sturdy. It fits nicely in the small corner I had envisioned, and I’m definitely pleased with this purchase!

I Love it!!! It was pretty easy to put together. I really enjoy the look of it. It resembles tree branches and its so beautiful.

Better then expected.

Although assembly is pretty straight forward based on the diagram included with the package, some of us are better with visuals while others, like me, do better with written instructions. On top of my being "visual assembly-challenged", one of the rods included in my set had a defective hole that had not been sufficiently "drilled/punched out" to accommodate the screw - a problem I solved by "jiggling" the wrench around in the hole to push some of the metal back. It took awhile, but eventually I got everything aligned. Overall, I am very pleased with the rack - it seems to be sturdy. But in this regard, I would like to note that according to the specs on the Monarch website, the weight capacity for this rack is supposed to be 11 lbs - an indice I think should have been included in the posting for this item. The rack may very well be able to hold more weight - but, given this is a spec the manufacturer has assigned to this item, I think its disclosure during the buying process would be useful to the consumer. Another "missing spec" is the number of "hanging branches", described in posting as "multiple". I know when I was assessing whether I wanted to buy this, I literally sat & tried counting them based on the picture. Can't remember what I came up with, but the actual number is 8.

I received this coat rack yesterday and spent about 15-20 mins putting it together. The instructions aren't very good but it's not too hard to figure out once you isolate the bottom, middle and top pieces. The hardest part is putting both end into each of the connectors in order to get the screws though all 3 holes. Once you have it lined up it's pretty simple. Study, attractive and really doesn't look cheap.

I bought mine used for under $20 and it arrived in great condition. The branches were extremely difficult to connect and i struggled to twist them together (that's probably why the previous person returned it lol). I solved this issue by spraying WD40 on the part of the stems that connect and it became much easier to put together. I only use this to hang a few items. It looks good on its own as well, kind of like a minimalist tree decoration. I'm pleased with this stand.

Feels super cheap and isn't worth $50. Didn't come with instructions on how to put it together. Very wobbly. So far, it holds 4 coats just fine.

I like this stand, it appears to be sturdy (not yet tested with all my winter articles), and it is nice looking. The package came with no instructions, so I had to refer to the photos. Overall, it was easy to assemble, I did not have any issues with the pieces fitting together as other reviewers did. I'd buy it again.
