Good product, very easy to assemble. Mine came with all the bolts loosely attached to the part they would go on so none were missing or not fitting - smart and convenient. It comes with a hex tightener, for the screws that hold the 3 vertical sections together, but you will need a little wrench (about 10 mm on my metric set) to tighten the holder arms.The circular hat holders are better than pegs, but might not fit perfectly into every hat, so there may be some upward pressure on the top of the crown for indented crowns. I splurged the $10 for the dark brown, definitely worth it, it's a nice dark bronze-y color. But it is, as advertised, big. Good in that it fits all my best hats (20+, since caps can be stacked.). Hard to fit in my non-Texas size house. Because the hat holders go out to all 4 quadrants, the distance across the thing (diameter including the hat holders) is about 21". If the hats have 3" brims, add 6" to that. So you cant tuck it up against a wall (I suppose you could leave out 5 of the hat holders/racks so that it could be a little closer to the wall. The 20" base is kind of minimal for the height, width, weight and number of holders, and the base might not be perfectly level, so it might be a bit shaky on a rug. On a hard floor it seems fine, a tiny bit of wobble, but it doesn't go tipping over if you dont lurch into it. Possibly if you came home from the local pub drunk and slammed a hat onto it, it could tip, and that would be a mess. All those nice hats! But you wouldn't do that, would you? I mean, even if you're drunk, your'e going to be careful putting your hat away, right? So if you're a man of many hats, like me, it fits them all, holds them nicely, easy to grab a hat on the go, and displays them nicely too.Addendum. It turns out that the little legs which came pre-attached to the bottom of the base, are adjustable. So no wobble, it can be adjusted to be stable.
