I have a fabulous new lakefront that was totally renovated less than 10 years ago; however, there is only ONE closet and that is in the ONE big bedroom.  I needed something small and arts & crafts look for near the entrance to my front door.  This is just perfect.  Right now I have 6 jackets & raincoats hanging there but you could hang about 5 more.  I am a hat gal and I have 2 summer hats hanging on the ends at the top.  Adult son who visits left his running shoes and sandals under the shelf and my running shoes are on the shelf itself.  Perfect and looks great next to my Chinese chest that holds all my winter hats and gloves!!
