Buying Guide

How are wall mounted coat trees installed?

Wall mounted coat trees are installed by careful, meticulous measurement and a few strategic placements of sturdy nails. If you’re looking to install a coat tree, you’ll need to start by measuring between the mounting holes on your coat rack. Then, measure the place on the wall where you’d like to have the coat rack mounted, and mark everything out with light pencil lines. Locate studs with a stud finder, line up the mounting holes with the studs, and plan to mount your coat tree there for optimal sturdiness.

After you’ve done that, you should be able to mount your wall coat tree with just a few small nails. This way, you’ll have fewer nail holes in the wall, and you’ll be confident that your coat tree will support the weight of your coats.

What are the best materials for a wall mounted coat tree?

The best materials for a wall-mounted coat tree will combine form and function.

Consequently, wood is one of the most common materials used in the construction of coat racks due to its durability. However, it needs additional care, especially if you use it on a daily basis.

Metal on the other hand is both functional and durable. They may still develop problems if not treated properly but they are minimal maintenance when compared to wood. So metal is, therefore, the best material as it contains form, function, and longevity.

How much weight will a wall-mounted coat tree hold?

The amount of weight a wall-mounted coat tree can hold will vary from product to product, but overall, a robust coat tree can support over 120 lbs when mounted into a wood stud. That being said, its weight capacity will mainly depend on the number of hooks, the quality of the material, and the fasteners used. Some coat trees can hold up to 55 lbs while other designs can only bear 20 lbs, so always check the coat rack’s specifications before making any purchase if you need a sturdy one that can handle the weight of multiple coats. You should also consider the hook’s weight limit. This generally ranges from 3 to 8 lbs per hook.
