Melati Hall Tree – Acme Furniture
The Melati Hall Tree transforms your entryway into an organized welcome space with thoughtful storage designed for busy households. Our signature piece features 10 double coat hooks that accommodate everything from winter coats to daily bags, while the generous bench seat with lift-top storage keeps shoes, scarves, and accessories neatly tucked away.
Crafted with solid wood construction and finished in a rich espresso tone, the Melati blends traditional craftsmanship with functional design. The symmetrical layout and crown molding details complement both classic and transitional interiors, making this hall tree a versatile addition to entryways, mudrooms, or bedroom corners where extra storage is needed.
Design & storage highlights
Solid Wood Construction & Finish Details
We build the Melati Hall Tree with solid wood framing that stands up to daily use in high-traffic areas. The espresso finish is hand-applied in multiple coats, then sealed to resist moisture and everyday wear from keys, bags, and outdoor gear.
The crown molding top and raised panel backing showcase traditional woodworking techniques that add visual depth without overwhelming smaller entryways. Each of the 10 hooks is individually mounted into reinforced backing to support heavier coats and backpacks season after season.
Bench Storage & Seating Dimensions
Bench Seat Comfort
The padded bench seat measures 38 inches wide and 16 inches deep, providing comfortable seating for adults putting on shoes or children gathering school bags. We designed the lift-top mechanism with soft-close hinges that prevent pinched fingers and slamming.
Inside the bench compartment, you’ll find 12 inches of depth perfect for storing up to six pairs of adult shoes, seasonal accessories, or pet supplies. The interior is finished with the same attention to detail as the exterior, so items stay protected from dust and moisture.
Assembly & Installation Guide
The Melati Hall Tree arrives in one carton with pre-drilled holes and clearly labeled hardware for straightforward assembly. Most customers complete setup in 45 to 60 minutes using only a Phillips screwdriver and the included Allen wrench.
We provide step-by-step illustrated instructions that walk through attaching the bench to the back panel, securing the crown molding, and mounting all 10 hook sets. Each hook includes backing plates that distribute weight across the solid wood frame for maximum durability.

Questions About the Melati Hall Tree
The Melati features 10 double hooks, which means you have 20 hanging points total. In practical terms, this accommodates 8 to 10 adult winter coats comfortably, or up to 15 lighter jackets and accessories when mixing garment weights.
Each double hook is rated to hold 10 pounds, so you can hang heavier items like parkas, messenger bags, or multiple pieces on a single hook without concern. We designed the hook spacing at 3.5 inches apart to prevent overcrowding and allow bulkier items to hang without crushing.
The interior storage compartment measures 36 inches wide, 14 inches deep, and 12 inches high. This space comfortably holds six pairs of adult shoes, seasonal accessories like scarves and gloves, or children’s sports equipment.
The lift-top opening is 34 inches wide, providing easy access to items stored inside. We included soft-close hinges that prevent the lid from slamming shut, protecting both the furniture and anyone reaching into the compartment.
The Melati is stable as a freestanding piece thanks to its wide base and low center of gravity. However, we include a wall anchor kit and strongly recommend securing the upper back panel to wall studs, especially in homes with young children who might climb on the bench or pull on hanging items.
Anchoring takes just 10 additional minutes during assembly and provides extra peace of mind. The anchor points are discreetly positioned behind the crown molding, so hardware remains completely hidden from view.
Our espresso finish is a warm, dark brown tone that coordinates with most wood furniture in traditional and transitional styles. While wood tones naturally vary between pieces and product lines, customers regularly pair the Melati with our console tables, storage benches, and accent cabinets for cohesive entryway designs.
We maintain consistent finishing standards across our storage furniture collection, so pieces purchased together will have the closest color match. If you’re matching to existing furniture from other manufacturers, we recommend ordering a finish sample or reviewing our detailed product photos in various lighting conditions.
Most customers without prior furniture assembly experience complete the Melati setup in 45 to 60 minutes. We provide illustrated step-by-step instructions, pre-drilled holes, and clearly labeled hardware to simplify the process.
You’ll need only a Phillips screwdriver and the included Allen wrench. The heaviest lifting involves positioning the back panel upright and attaching the bench section, which one person can manage though a helper makes it easier. Our customer service team is available to answer assembly questions if you encounter any challenges.
The bench seat supports up to 200 pounds of seated weight, which accommodates most adults comfortably. We engineered the seat frame with reinforced corner bracing and a solid wood top that distributes weight evenly.
This capacity allows two children or one adult to sit while putting on shoes without stressing the structure. The lift-top hinge mechanism is rated for the same weight capacity, so you can safely sit on the closed bench during daily use.
Yes, the Melati’s footprint of 38 inches wide by 18 inches deep is specifically designed for standard entryways, including apartment and condo spaces. The 72-inch height works well with typical 8-foot ceilings while providing maximum vertical storage.
Before ordering, measure your entryway width to ensure at least 40 inches of clear wall space, which allows the hall tree to sit flush without blocking doors or walkways. The slim 18-inch depth means it won’t intrude into traffic paths, even in narrower hallways.
