We bought our first one last Spring- it looked classy on the wall when not in use.  But this winter it became clear how invaluable these are- with so many winter coats etc we were hanging it became clear that we needed more than 5 hooks- ended up getting 2 more, so now each family member had their own.  Again, when not filled up with winter coats, ski jackets etc they will add class to the walls they are hung on, and when the weather changes they prove to be sturdy additions to the mudroom
