The Entryway Coat Rack and Shoe Bench from Hastings Home adds charming storage and functionality to your entryway or mud room. This freestanding hall tree easily holds 8 pairs of shoes on the lower shelves, the entire family’s outerwear on the 9 two-prong coat hooks, and can even hold items on hangers on the upper hanging rod all while offering you a place to sit while removing your boots. Whether you need a little organization or extra storage space for scarves, purses, umbrellas and pet leashes, the sturdy iron frame of this rustic farmhouse style coat rack can do it all!
A: I had the same problem. The two bracing bars underneath need to be turned over, maybe flipped around, to there the part the screws go into are facing up, not at the low point, but where they are on top, facing up so the shelf is resting on those holes.
