Coat rack beginnings

I found this old magazine rack at an antique store that was closing.
I thought it had great potential.

It as 2 slats of wood in the front and back, I removed the top
one in the front to reveal a small open shelf.

Then I painted it dark brown (kona brown to be exact)...But I guess I'm just not loving it, so I held off on putting the hooks on.
I went back and bought a can of black.
It's going to be black in the coming days.
