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

This piece is beautiful and was not too difficult to assemble. Great quality and looks beautiful in my entryway!

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!

Exactly what I was looking for. It’s perfect and fits exactly where I wanted. Putting together is okay but it took my husband and I awhile to do it

Takes time to build but it is really a great piece of furniture, great design. Instructions were clear. It is really heavy so parts came in two different boxes.

Love this hall tree. S like time consuming when putting together but the finish product is worthy it

BUYER BEWARE: Product was cheap looking so I returned the product and seller would not issue refund, claiming they received the wrong product which is incorrect and unethical.

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.
