Solid Wood Hall Tree

Buying Guide

Can I use a hall tree in a mudroom?

You can place a hall tree in a mudroom as long as you ensure there is plenty of space for boots, scarves, gloves, and other accessories. A solid wood hall tree typically features a bench or trunk as a base with a tall back section featuring hooks or storage compartments.

If you have a large household, you’ll need to consider how much storage the hall tree offers. Ensure it has several cubbies for shoes, including larger cubbies for tall boots.

Materials are important when using a hall tree in a mudroom, as this space is often exposed to moisture, leaving the unit vulnerable to rot and corrosion. Choose a hall tree made from solid pressure-treated hardwood, such as cedar, which is naturally water and insect-resistant. Ensure the piece is sealed and stained with a protective coating for a long-lasting addition to your mudroom.

How big is a solid wood hall tree?

A solid wood hall tree is typically 60”-72” high and 24”-36” wide. Hall trees designed for children may be slightly shorter than this to allow for easy accessibility, but they are around the same width.

Taller hall trees also tend to be wider to maintain their overall visual balance and structural stability. They will often include a 6”-12” deep shelf above the coat hooks to make the most of their height.

Hall trees are at least 12” deep to accommodate shoes and make them harder to tip over, but they still may need to be attached to the wall with anchors. The sturdiest solid wood hall trees are closer to 18” deep to accommodate drawers, a bench, or other features.
