Bush Business FurnitureBush Furniture Salinas Hall Tree with Storage Bench in Vintage Black

It took us a while to get assembled but it looks great in my foyer. Study and haven't tipped over. Very elegant look and functional without breaking the bank.

Overall I am pleased. I got two of these and they were easy to assemble and have held up well despite my toddlers climbing all over them. I’ve hung up backpacks and over heavy bags with no issues.

This hall tree is now residing in my home. The vintage black color is a very close color to my "espresso" kitchen cabinets, which i love. The item is fairly easy to put together. I was surprised, of course, to find out that the back panel is not wood like the rest of the hall tree. It's that thin cardboard-type-material that you tack on with small nails. It looks really good once it's on, though. The construction otherwise is good, and it supports good weight if you want to sit on it to tie your shoes. I don't remember what the listing puts the weight limit at, but it can support a grown man approx 250 lbs with no sign of squeaking or buckling.The overall look of this item is very good. I'm glad I purchased this, because it fits perfectly into the space intended.

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.

This hall tree is very nice. Fits right behind my door in the entryway. It was very easy to assemble and nothing was damaged.

This hall stand was exactly what I wanted. It fits well into the narrow space I have in my hallway when most other benches are too wide. The back is cardboard but the seams are not visible due to the placement of the wood slats. Assembly was easy - I did it myself while watching a football game, so took about 3 quarters to complete (given my frequent stopping to watch). The shoe cubbies are a bit short so it can be hard to fit more than one pair of shoes per cubby but I still love this unit.

Assembly for the most part wasn't hard, just time consuming. That is, until the last step. The last step requires you to attach the shoe organizer base to the coat hanger top. However the only guiding holes here are underneath part of the shoe base, there is nothing in the bottom of the top nor the top of the base to guide you in lining up these screws and it is EXTREMELY difficult to attach them correctly. Despite us spending over an hour on this one singular step desperately trying to get the screws to go in we ended up damaging part of the top because the screws weren't aligning. Now it wobbles when you push on the top. We are going to get Gorilla Glue to connect these parts more securely because otherwise it's not secure at all, and then we'll have to use some decor items to cover up the damages from that screw. So, that part was disappointing. I'm happy to have a wall tree, but I'd have rather spent a bit more and gotten the product built for me and delivered that way. No more flat-pack furniture for me. After this piece we have sworn to never buy another piece of flat pack furniture.
