Do you want a compact hall tree that can fit into a corner of your entryway? This space-efficient corner coat rack can hold a lot of items. Plus, it has a chic rustic, industrial style.
Advantages of a Smaller, Freestanding Coat Rack:
First of all, its small-scale design enables this vintage-looking coat rack to work in some hallways. Therefore, you may be able to fit it near a doorway that you didn’t think was possible.
A wall-mounted coat rack can work as well. However, you then don’t get the shoe storage. This corner unit combines a coat tree, hat rack, umbrella stand and shoe shelves in a sturdy, metal free-standing frame.
Note: Because this piece of furniture can stand on its own, you don’t have to drill holes into your walls. That said, the package does include an anti-tip kit so you can secure the frame to the wall if you want.
How Does this Small Hall Tree Fit So Much Stuff?
This corner hall tree surprisingly packs a lot of storage into a compact space. Not to mention, corners typically turn into unused, wasted space.
In fact, the frame includes 8 double coat hooks. Most mudroom furniture doesn’t even include that many hangers.
As you can see, the manufacturer placed 2 outer hooks (one on either side) to maximize capacity. These come in really handy for bulkier items like hats, backpacks or bags.
Alternatively, you can use the 2 interior hooks for compact items like umbrellas, scarves, keys, small purses, etc..
How to Use 2 Corner Coat Racks Together to Increase Storage:
Another way to use 2 corner coat racks is to place them back to back to create more storage space. Plus, it has a unique rounded look as compared to regular hall trees.
In addition, the 2 racks take up less floor and wall space than other entryway storage pieces. For example, this industrial coat and shoe rack measures 48 inches wide, whereas 2 of the corner units measure 40″.
You can hang just as many items (maybe more) and store the same amount of shoes in a smaller area. Just something to think about if your foyer area has a limited amount of space.
Of course, this set-up doesn’t work for corners. However, maybe you have 2 corners where you can arrange these units and still double the storage capacity…
Note: Even though this unit looks like it has a small seat or bench, it’s not meant for sitting. The seat can only hold up to 150 lbs of weight. Use it for extra bag storage instead.
If you want a usable seat, check out this entryway storage unit. It has a higher weight capacity of 220 lbs and only measures 30″ wide. Although not a “corner unit”, you can slide it into a corner.
