We have 5 kids and all their "stuff" to manage which can become challenging. To help organize all our coats and backpacks, I hung the Large Brushed Nickel hooks in a row down my hallway wall. Each child has a hook to hang his/her coat, scarf, and backpack. The hooks hold well under the daily wear and tear of kids. They also look great with the decor and make everything line up nice and straight. I love it! I also use the large white hooks on a basement wall to hold all the snowsuit gear!
