5.0 out of 5 stars Great coat rack, January 28, 2007

Great looking - very modern. Space saving is excellent to put in a hallway if your garage entrance is in a narrow area like mine. Unobtrusive and holds different kinds of coats just fine. I have a heavy trench, a puffy jacket, a lightweight jacket and a leather motorcycle jacket hanging on mine at any given time.

Mounting is a cinch and anyone can do it. You should have a drill, but technically, you can do the entire job with some creativity using simply a screwdriver. Comes with all the hardware you need and a template to make sure you put the holes on the wall in the right place. Be sure to have a level to make sure your template is straight before drilling!

This has been on my wall for a few months and holding up just fine. Everyone that sees it thinks it is great. Two people I know have purchased one. In fact, I'm writing this because I noticed there were no reviews as I was adding one to my cart to buy my second one!

3.0 out of 5 stars Slick looking rack -- just a few concerns, January 8, 2010

This review is from: Wall Hook - Flip Up Nickel Hooks - Espresso (espresso) (1"h X 20"w X 2 3/4"d) (Misc.)

It's a good-looking and sleek rack, although a bit pricey for what you get. The hooks are a bit close together, and hanging up anything bulky, like winter parkas, on two consecutive hooks would be a tight fit.

However, as this rack comes with only two drywall screws for mounting, it's not really designed to hold 5 parkas in the first place. It does hold four lighter jackets of mine rather well though. I wouldn't trust it for hanging much more than that without ripping through the drywall.

The rack is mounted by using a template to drill two drywall screws with plastic anchors into the wall. You must leave the screw heads about 1/4" out of the wall so the heads can slide into two keyhole slots cut into the back of the rack itself. For that reason, even if you did drill the screws into studs, the rack is really hanging onto the two screw heads only. I wouldn't load up the rack with a heavy load since I'd basically be testing to see if the drywall gave out before the screw heads tore through their slots.

I do like the rack. It looks quite slick, and it's nice for mounting behind a door as it doesn't protrude too far from the wall and the unused hooks can fold up out of the way. I would give it another star if it had better support, such as screw holes drilled all the way through the rack with a metal bracket. I'd also give it another star if it were a bit cheaper, because there really isn't too much material there--you're just paying extra for the novelty of the design.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice rack!, November 18, 2007

Clever design with simple contemporary good looks. Super easy installation... just drill 2 holes and it's up in no time. Doesn't need to be on stud. I just put it up, but appears to be very solid and sturdy. Reasonably priced for a very well conceived and executed product. Got mine a bit cheaper at Office Depot.
