Tree Coat Stand

If you are considering getting a coat rack, you're probably wondering, are tree coat stands appropriate for heavy garments? The reality is that there is no right or wrong answer to this question.

However, common sense would dictate that if you are hanging up heavy garments and your stand becomes lopsided or, worse, topples over; then it basically cannot handle the weight of heavy garments.

However, coat racks, whether tree or bench-style, are great ways to organize coats, hats, and other items that usually get dumped at the doorway.

So even if you're not using it for extremely heavy clothes, at the least, it can be used to hang up your coats, hats, and other items that you need to grab in a hurry. It also gives your space a uniform and orderly layout.

The best material for a tree coat stand is, of course… wood! Not only is it a great choice for coat stands in general (it’s durable, versatile, and reliable), but it will add to the natural feel of your tree design.

However, for a more contemporary or minimalist take on the traditional tree coat stand shape, you can always find metal or plastic models, too.

The average height of a tree coat stand is around 5½ feet. This is the perfect height for keeping coats of all lengths, even floor-length jackets, in a position where they don’t drag on the ground. It’s essential to select a coat stand that keeps your longest garments clear of the floor to prevent them from picking up dust or dirt.

A height of 5½ feet is also common because it allows people to easily reach and access their belongings, even if they are on the shorter side. You can also find tree coat stands that are smaller or taller to suit your unique needs. For example, a coat tree for a daycare center or home with many children will benefit from a kids’ size coat tree that is roughly 3 feet tall. You can also buy adjustable coat tree stands that can grow with your kids over the years.
