Great idea but shreds your ties
This is well-made and a great idea - with a small modification, it would allow accessible storage for 24 ties per rack, and the size is such that you could mount multiple racks in a closet an optimize the use of space. Unfortunately, the wood pegs and the wooden knobs at the end of each peg snag on all but the cheapest ties and you'll shred your ties a bit every time you take them on and off. The rack can be used for jewelry, of course, since there's no cloth involved. I did not experiment with scarves, but it stands to reason the scarves will fare no better than ties. I tried hanging belts from the rack, and this almost works except the clearance between the mount and the wheel is a little too small for some belt buckles.<br />I was able to make use of the rack for my less-expensive bowties. They also snag when going on and off the pegs, but since I'm not wearing them much and the surface area on a bow tie is half that of a tie, the damage to the ties will be less aggressive (and these are ties I don't care too much about).<br />A simple fix would be metal pegs or a plastic coating on the pegs. Paint or varnish might work but I would be concerned about the long-term effects on the tie material. If it weren't for the damage to the ties, I would have ordered 7 more of these and outfitted my whole closet! Hopefully someone will read this review and consider upgrading the rack so that it's suitable for cloth materials.
