Coat Racks to Declutter Your Entryway The small but mighty coat rack can transform your daily routine, keeping gear accessible and organized, but it also offers an opportunity to give your entryway a dose of personality. These eight racks do both. Of the 15 we tested, these models passed our rigorous strength and functionality tests and stood out for their unique style.coat and hat rack stand Many of the racks we recommend in this guide hover around $100—we had a hard time finding many high-quality racks for less. It’s a lot to spend, but for a tool you use every day we think something sturdy and attractive is worth investing in. We expect each of our picks to last for many years and to be something you can bring from one home to the next. And we found a range of styles to fit most tastes: Our picks include a compact six-hook rack, the iconic Eames coat rack (and a replica), a sleek wood option, a big steel rack, a simple Shaker peg rack, and two freestanding coat racks. If you aren’t sure what you need, we also discuss how to choose the right coat rack for your home.
