A coat rack is a piece of furniture designed to hold coats, hats, and other outerwear. Typically found in entryways or hallways, coat racks can come in various styles, including freestanding, wall-mounted, or even integrated into furniture like benches. They often feature hooks or pegs for hanging items and may include shelves for additional storage. Coat racks are made from a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic, allowing them to fit different decor styles. They help keep spaces organized and tidy by providing a designated spot for outerwear, reducing clutter in homes and offices.
