In my last house we converted the coat closet to a linen closet, but then needed to hand the everyday jackets somewhere.  We bought a 5 hook bar for a new closet.  The flip hook worked great for us and guests as they arrived.  When empty, we were asked what the "piece of art" represented - ha.  We flipped out a hook and showed them.  They are sturdy, practical, and lovely too.  We sold that home and have now replaced it with the 8 hook bar for our new home.  Highly recommend!
