Do you want a simple way to add storage in your front entryway while incorporating modern, industrial style? The Walker Edison Angled Side Hall Tree offers ample storage space with a minimalistic open feel.
Whether you live in a contemporary home, a modern loft or an industrial space, the Peyton Storage Hall Tree blends in well. It has the rugged metal and wood look, plus it features clean, straight lines that give it an upgraded feel.
The angled shape makes it stand out from ordinary wall shelving or bookshelves. It almost has that ladder-shelf type structure.
Why Use an Angled Hall Tree if You Have a Small Entry?
The Peyton Hall Tree works well in small entryways for a few reasons.
1. Hall Tree has Open Design
First of all, the see-through structure makes this furnishing feel more open. Like a glass top coffee table, it doesn’t make the space feel smaller because you can see right through it.
2. “Leaning” Hall Tree Feels Less Intrusive
Second, the narrowed top gives the impression that this wall shelving unit takes up less space. This optical illusion is creatively deceptive, and therefore offers a nice advantage in narrow foyers.
3. Narrow Shape Takes Up Minimal Floor Space
Third, the Peyton measures almost 4 feet wide, yet it only sticks out from the wall at the base by 16 inches. Consequently, you can take advantage of a substantial amount of unused wall space while keeping the floor area open.
Note: This uniquely-designed hall tree provides some great space-saving advantages that also work well in some hallways, bathrooms and home offices.
The Peyton Hall Tree is Lightweight, Yet Strong and Secure
This Walker Edison hall tree only weighs 54 lbs, so the frame is easy to assemble and move. Even so, the structure can hold a good amount of weight since the frame is metal.
However, due to the height, you want to secure the hall tree to the wall.
Conveniently, the package includes the hardware need to affix the unit to the wall behind it.
Note: Some people ask if the shelves can be reversed from the left side to the right side of the unit. Unfortunately, they can’t move.
Need a Smaller, Cheaper Hall Tree?
Do you like this industrial hall tree but a 46″ wide piece of furniture won’t fit in your space?
Then take a look at the Vasagle Vintage Coat Rack with a similar rugged warehouse style.
The Vasagle only measures 31″ wide (vs 46″), yet it provides a similar amount of shelf space and coat hooks. That is, if you count the very upper shelf.
It also costs about $100 less than the Peyton, just in case you want to save some money. =)
Also, this vintage coat rack may offer a better option if you prefer to have shoe storage shelves. Conversely, the Peyton Hall Tree allows space for you to keep shoes, just not actual shelves for them.

What is the Advantage of Having a Melamine Laminate Finish?
Instead of using more expensive hardwood, Walker Edison utilizes a lower cost, yet durable, MDF alternative. They coated the exterior of the MDF in a melamine laminate overlay to waterproof the MDF.
Basically, melamine laminate is a hard resin that protects the material underneath from moisture. More scientifically, Displays 2 Go describes it as “an organic compound that when combined with formaldehyde forms a durable thermosetting plastic”.
