Generally, I've always hated coat racks.  However, we have a really small foyer and needed somewhere for guests' coats to go.  Saw this one in the magazine and fell in love.  It was on backorder forever, but they emailed me as soon as it came back it and I snapped it up.  It is even nicer in person than it looks online.  Been using it for everything - super cute and sturdy.  Rustic modern look.
