Merax Farmhouse Wood Hall Tree with Shoe Bench and 2 Drawers, 4-in-1 Coat Rack with 6 Hooks for Entrance, Hallway, Mudroom Black

Exactly what I was looking for in the space we needed it - it fit perfectly. Everyone that comes to our house has commented on how beautiful it is! The directions were easy to follow and one person could definitely put this together by themselves. The storage capacity is great and the hooks are very convenient. I agree that the back part of the board is cheaper material than the rest of it, but as long as you are careful putting the nails in, you shouldn't have any issues with the look or functionality. Would definitely buy again!

Overall, a good mudroom hutch. I had been looking for a few months and I found this one which was a good price, and had overall good reviews. When we received the box, it was in pretty good condition, and no pieces were damaged. The instructions were overall clear and it took my fiancé around three hours to assemble, a few pieces being frustrating, but would be easier with two people. Once it was put together, we noticed a few small nicks/cheap parts in the pieces, but they were minor. Overall it seems pretty sturdy and fit the space we were looking perfectly! I would purchase this item again, and I would recommend purchasing it as it is a good price for the product!

Love, love, love! I have had this for almost a year and it has been a game changer! Easy to put together if you have half a brain, color matches the description. Stability is pretty good, the hangers aren’t strong enough to hold multiple back packs with weight. We use this primarily for coats and one school backpacks. You can adjust the bottom shelves for 4 small sections for shoes to two compartments for boots, etc. if you pair the top cubbies with baskets you get even more storage!

LOVE this mud room organizer!! If you're debating on buying it, do it, you won't be disappointed! But I'm going to be honest, it took two of us about 6 hours from start to finish, it's not the easiest thing to put together. The bottom half was frustrating at times, directions don't really specify which way the boards need to go from front/back, but after turning a few other way and some trial and error, we finally got the bottom half done and then the top half went much smoother. It looks beautiful and is exactly what we were looking for.

This came with a LOT of broken pieces. The drawers don’t close easy and the holes didn’t line up well. Very disappointed in the quality.

For the price, this hall tree will be okay for a few years. We bought it for a new house as a cost effective option until we install a sturdier, built-in system. The instructions were thorough, and accurate diagrams resolved any questions we had. We were careful in assembly. I do not recommend forcing anything. It will all fit if you take your time and follow the directions carefully. Sliding the backing sheets into their slots was key. It took my husband and I several hours to assemble. We’re both fairly mechanically inclined. This unit is probably not sturdy enough for busy little children. Our four sons would have climbed and collapsed it, but calmer kids might not take that challenge. It comes with two L-brackets as an anti-tipping device, but it’s not sturdy enough for kids who are climbers. It is probably enough for ordinary use. To assemble, the pieces are marked with stickers. Unfortunately, the glue on some of the stickers marred the very thin veneer/paint. (I can touch up with bright white acrylic paint.) The depth of the upper cubbies is very narrow. I have no idea what will fit in them. They are not deep enough for hats or baskets or backpacks that could make them functional. Maybe something small and decorative would work. For the price, I would recommend this as a good option for a few years. It is not made with long-term, built-in quality.

I bought this hall tree because the dimensions were exactly what I needed for my entryway space, and visually, it fits the farmhouse aesthetic flawlessly. The layout with the hooks and the 2 bottom drawers is great for keeping coats and shoes organized. However, the overall structural build leaves a bit to be desired. The main drawback is that the material is on the flimsier side. Specifically, the bench piece feels a bit thin. While it's perfectly fine for sitting down for a few seconds to kick off your boots, it flexes more than it should, and the material really should be thicker and sturdier if it’s going to be sat on daily by adults. The Installation & Baseboard Hack: If you have standard baseboard trim in your hallway, you are going to run into a mounting issue. This unit has a completely flat back with no cutout at the bottom to accommodate trim, and the manufacturer doesn't include any wall spacers. Because the baseboard pushes the bottom of the unit away from the wall, the top sits an inch out, making the included anti-tip hardware useless out of the box. Because a tall unit like this must be anchored, I ended up mounting a 1x3 wood furring strip to the back of the frame to bridge that gap. This allowed me to screw it securely into the wall studs despite the baseboard offset. Pros: Exact, true-to-size dimensions that look great in tight entryways. The 2 large bottom drawers slide smoothly and swallow up a lot of clutter. Hooks provide plenty of hanging space. Cons: Engineered wood feels a bit lightweight; the bench needs more structural reinforcement. No consideration given for baseboard clearance during wall mounting. The Verdict: If you are handy enough to manage a quick DIY workaround to anchor it to the wall, it looks beautiful and functions well as a mudroom organizer. Just be gentle with the bench during daily use.

Was fairly easy to build and looks amazing as well as function. The onky draw back was that the hooks were a bit light weight so we purchased heavier hooks. It worked great!!
