* ASSEMBLY AND DESIGN *
It took myself and an additional person to assemble this garment rack. You'll need the extra help to support the pieces to ensure proper alignment before screwing the items. Requires a Philips screw which was not included. The instructions however I found to be questionable and not very easy as some screws and metal parts looks very similar so be sure to double check each item and separate them.
You'll need a wide space to separate the pieces and assemble to avoid mistakes. When screwing in the metal parts, I made sure not to tighten it completely until everything was in alignment. The wooden bases had small hole indentations however they were off from the actual metal frames. I used a pencil and Philips screw to mark the actual holes. The soft wood (/ compressed pieces) has a smooth "front" base while the other sides are normal.
* Hint *
After assembling the metal frames, make sure you've decided on your lifestyle whether the shelves should be on the left or right side. They are reversible but there is only one front facing wood that is displayable. The other sides are fine but not as curved as the one side.
* STURDINESS *
I chose this garment rack so I wouldn't have to drill holes into my walls (I still can't do this... Ikea's "floating racks" are dangerous). Plus the flexibility for future use in mobility. It is currently being used for my jackets and bags aka on-the-go items in one place.
I found it to be sturdy for me after finalizing the screws. The rack does have a weight limit so if you have heavy jackets (e.g. 3x Canada Goose jackets and wool jackets), it does start to bend. So be selective and only the items you plan to wear
* VALUE FOR MONEY *
Purchased this during Amazon's Black Friday 2020 where I got it for $100 CAD! I've been watching this item since the summer (priced at $150+) and jumped at the opportunity when it was part of the BF deal. The delivery was fast and provided updates on the status of this item as it is large and comes from the supplier, not Amazon's warehouse.
I use this garment rack for my on-the-go items such as jackets/coats and bags. I try to rotate my designer bags and having the shelving units provides incentive to change it up monthly. Also great at displaying shoes if you're comfortable with a little dirt. I usually wipe my shoes' soles before putting it on the shelves or paper towel to avoid potential stains/transfer.
I would however recommend purchasing a narrow hanging shoe box for smaller items (e.g. gloves, masks, scarves, small leather goods - SLGs, sunglasses, and etc.) for the rack. It keeps my items more easier to reach and organized which is important when I'm running out of the house. You can of course use baskets as it's more visually appealing, but for me, it becomes a catch-all and mixed-up as there's no partitions in the baskets.
