Our house in the Phoenix area does not have a coat closet. This is fine for the blazing hot summers but not during the winter. We decided on buy a clothes rack to put it our large laundry room for this purpose. Actually we thought we wanted a coat tree or hooks but after scrolling through the options on Wayfair we discovered this garment rack. The price was right and it worked out perfectly for our needs. It is sturdy enough for the purpose and can easily hold ten coats. The height is suitable for even our longer coats. Buy it!
