It's compact and doesn't take up much space, and the simple design means it looks good in any room, so it doesn't look out of place. (It might be a bit tough in a Japanese-style room, but if it's black, it might work.) You can choose from two colours, white and black, so you can choose the one that best matches the image of your room. And despite its compact size, you can hang quite a lot of clothes on it. I think you could hang about 10 relatively thin jackets for spring to autumn. I don't have any particular complaints about using it, but personally I think it would have been better if the short poles on either end, where you hang bags and hats, were on one side or the other. (Sorry for the confusing expression.) The price is not too high, and I think it's a good buy at a reasonable price. I'm very happy with my purchase.
