is it strong enough for a closet to hang coats?

I don't feel that the tension rod is heavy enough to hold much weight. It is great for valences or sheer curtains. I would definitely go with a more substantial rod for handing coats.

I don't believe it would be strong enough. This rod is very small and lightweight, as such the tension isn't very strong. I use it in my large kitchen sink to hang wet dish towels. Even with that, I find that the rod slips down every once in a while (but then again, the walls of the sink is often wet).

No it is not. It is actually, after fully extended about 24 inches long. I used it in an awkward spot in my linen closet to hang cleaning supplies.

These are very sturdy and should not bend. I have very heavy coats hung on mine with no problem.

I haven't used mine for anything yet because the jackets aren't out yet, but I think as long as you kept the jackets evenly distributed around the pole it should be ok. The base is quite heavy. Looks like metal, but it is actually plastic probably filled with cement or something. The hanger sticks on the side should be plenty strong enough, but if you had 2 jackets on one side it would probably tip over. I found that most have a small base like this one though. Hope this helped a bit.

I have two sets of them stacked in my closet. They work fine, though using just the dowels wont be sufficient unless you plan on using the wall to stabilize them as I did.

I would think so....the holes for the shelf pegs would show, but wouldn't be a big deal to me. I would suggest command hooks on the inside for the coats, because the screw in hooks would leave permanent holes that you may not want later.

Yes to both questions. I found the entire piece to be quite sturdy and we have the shelves full with no problem. The bar would have no problem holding hangers with shirts and pants.

Ummm, yes as long as it is anchored properly to the wall. I have purses hanging from it, and they aren't that "light weight".....probably 12 purses on each one and no issues at all. I don't think it would be a problem for winter coats. They are solid, and you have 2 screws at each end. It's worth trying.

No, it is not big enough for a closet rod and strong enough to hold a handbag. Mostly good for kitchen and bathroom use.

I have never used it inside a closet, but I would recommend it be mounted to the wall. I currently use it for very heavy books and she's and it works well

Yes. I did not take outanything from my closet. The hooks are like hanger hooks.

The bars are strong but the strength depend on the installation. If uYou are indtaling and mount to studs you are fine. I have 4 closets instal but highly recommend you use a good contractor for install.

Yes, it is very sturdy with a metal base. We have several winter coats hanging on ours right now.

Definitely. Our rack frequently has every single hook occupied (sometimes with more than one coat/ jacket). If you are still concerned, you could always make sure to drill into a stud in your wall. Good luck.

It might. Especially if you plan to hang delicate fabrics. I use it only to hang thicker material like coats

I'm not sure. The grids pull apart easily, and the connectors aren't strong enough to handle the force. I highly wouldn't recommend using it in a closet.

It will accommodate full length coats without draggng the ground. I have two garment racks, this one and an industrial one. I use the industrial one to store my longer, heavier garments and this one for the laundry room. I have hung many wet shirts and pants on it and even a 5x7 rug to dry. It is definitely a stable piece, just not as heavy duty as an industrial rack as there are more pieces to this one.

I don't think it would be tall enough or sturdy enough for more than two lightweight jackets or one heavy coat. I use it to display outfits. I can hang (on hangers) one top on each side and one pair of light pants on each side.
