I love a good hall tree coat rack. I think every house should have one right inside their front door or at least in the hall somewhere near the front door. There are many little things that make a house a home, and the right hall tree coat rack is without a doubt one of those things, in fact it’s one of the most important things, if you ask me!
On this web page I’m going to talk all about hall tree coat racks; both the many different kinds that are available, as well as what you can expect to pay for a good one and where you can find the very best models at the lowest prices.
So many different kinds to choose from! there are nearly an infinite number of different kinds of coat racks to choose from to decorate your hall or entrance way, or at least that’s what it seems like to me! I want to take just a few minutes here to discuss some of the main types that you can expect to find before we get into prices and things like that. You probably already have some kind of an idea of what you’re looking for, based on your own house and your own decor; but before you make up your mind completely let me run you through some of the different options you have.
Standard Tree Coat Racks when you say tree coat rack, many things come to mind but in my mind the Main thing is a straight standard poll with sort of branches sticking out of the top (not tree branches, though there are racks that are made to look like trees!) And a good solid base with or without legs of some sort. But it becomes more difficult than that because there are many different kinds of materials that can be used. There’s wrought-iron, polished metal, and many different types of wood… just to name a few of the more popular ones. The material you choose is wholly a function of your personal preference and taste. No one kind is better than the other as far as that goes. Just pick the material that you’re most comfortable with.
Some people like wood; I call them wood people. I am often one of them! Other people like wrought iron, that sort of black and heavy metal material. I’ll admit, I’m often one of them too! Yeah, I’ve got several different coat racks throughout the house both at the front door and the back door as well as at my office. What do you expect though, I made a website about them!
Non-Traditional Options besides your regular standing coat rack there are other options as well including the coat rack bench which is sort of a mix between a chair and a coat rack; as well as the coat rack/umbrella stand which is quite popular as well. The choice you make will depend on your personal preference as well as the amount of room you have available. For instance, coat rack benches can be quite large and sometimes space doesn’t allow for their use in your home.
Let’s Talk Prices Now: prices for hall tree coat racks vary greatly. You can find really cheap ones that you sort of a assemble yourself by screwing several pieces together for between $15 and $30. I keep one of them in my garage and it works perfectly good and I’ve had it for many years so these are valid options. For a more sturdy nicer model that you don’t have to put together and in fact usually comes as one piece, you can expect to pay anywhere from $80 up to $200 or $300 or more depending on the material. Solid cherry coat racks are going to cost more money and there’s just not much you can do about it. Same thing goes with wrought iron coat racks. They can run you in the hundreds of dollars.
No matter which coat rack you eventually settle on, make sure that you like the look of it… and that’s all! You’re going to be looking at it and using it every day, so if you don’t love it, don’t buy it.
