Just Rotate It!

Headbourne 8000 coat hanger stand is charming in its simplicity. It's made of Pine wood and finished with Dark Walnut varnish. These materials in combination with the classy design and supreme build quality make this model a wonderful bargain.

The rack features two tiers of hooks - the lower is best for outer garments and upper is great for hats and caps. You can get easy access to any jacket, coat, scarf, or hat even when the rack is tucked into a corner since it has a spinning top.

The bottom umbrella stand is divided into four sections so that your guests and family members can neatly organize their accessories. This model is pretty compact and can easily fit in tight corners and narrow halls. Being 73 inch high, it allows you to hang long coats and other outwear. Its broad four-legged base ensures maximum stability and special pads on the legs will save your floor from scratches. The rack comes with all installation hardware, and the assembly will take you no more than half an hour. 

This classy hall tree is available in Dark Walnut, Light Pine, and White designs to add a chic touch to any interior.

Large and Stable

Frenchi Home Furnishing tree coat rack is extremely durable as it's produced from sturdy metal and finished with a high-quality black varnish. The finish makes the rack waterproof and allows you to hang even damp coats. 

The top includes 12 hooks arranged on two levels. The lower hooks are perfect for outwear and the upper ones can neatly accommodate headgear and accessories. The rack bottom opens up into a spacious umbrella stand for easy accessorizing on-the-go; you'll be less likely to forget your umbrella and get wet on the next rainy day

This modern coat hanger is very well built and generously sized, its legs take up to 20 inches of space but there is a good reason for that as they make the rack extremely stable. Even when fully loaded, this tree rack won't wobble at all. So, if you often throw big parties and need a large solid rack for your guests' garments, try this one.

Use It Only When Necessary

Perhaps, this is one of the most versatile models in our review. Owing to a variety of finish options and matte flip down hooks, it has a sleek modern look and can be installed literally anywhere. For example, you can mount a deep espresso rack on your entryway wall, choose a mint option for the nursery, and natural white for the bathroom. Undoubtedly, the zest of Umbra rack is its flip-down hooks that you can fold in when they are not in use.

Although the rack is small enough, and the hooks might seem a bit fragile, don't rush to conclusions. The hooks are very durable and can hold up wet towels, clothes, and even multiple heavy winter coats. The rack is available with 3, 5, or 8 hooks in total, and it's a pretty nice idea to buy different ones and mount them all around your house. 3-hook rack on the kitchen wall will work perfectly for oven gloves and kitchen towels, 5 hooks in a bathroom will work well for clothes, bathrobes, and towels, and 8-hook model will help you conveniently organize your and your guests' outer garments.

Umbra rack looks very expensive and classy, and is the best pick for houses with modern decor!
