Will this work for coats? How much weight will it hold? I need a coat rack for approx. 25 coats.

Depending on how puffy they are this should work for you. If you need to use the extended ends I would put the lightest coats on the ends.

I doubt it would hold that much weight. Don't remember the total weight but i believe it is listed on the spec's.

If this rack truly has a "250 lb. load capacity," then they should show us a picture of it supporting five 45-lb. barbell plates. This is only 225 lbs. and should pose no problem for a "commercial grade" clothing rack with a "250 lb. load capacity." I seriously doubt that a rack whose top and lower bars come in two pieces can support a fraction of that rate without bending, bowing or collapsing.

I've used this rack for coats at our clothing outreach and right now I have well over 25 heavy coats on it and it's has held up very well. Hope this helps.

Sorry - I just noticed this was for the single rail rack. I have the double rack and it's not much more money.

I would estimate 25 lbs. I wouldn't worry about hanging clothes on it, but if some one put all their weight on it (like a grab bar), I wouldn't expect it to hold. This depends in part what it is screwed into. Wall board won't hold as much as it will fail before the bar does.

It seems pretty sturdy, I don't have coats on it, but I think it will work. It might not roll very well if overloaded.

If you put a thicker coat it might work. Buy more than you think you will need.

Hi Angela. The only approximation someone can give is the length. It's exactly 5ft. Beyond that I doubt anyone can accurately answer the second part of your question "how many coats it will hold". The reason being no two homes will have exactly the same coats or materials. If someone has all down filled vests, jackets and/or heavy wool winter coats etc. The rack will get filled up fast compared to coats with other materials or thing Pea Coats. I hope this helps.

This hanger is good for general items. But not large enough to prevent fall off of tops with a wide opening. I purchased ones that are about 19" wide, they do the trick. Finding them is not easy however. Good for coats also

Quite a bit. I've got 4 winter coats and a lot of fall jackets and coats and sort jackets on there and it can still hold more in sure. It's super sturdy after proper assembly upper shelf and lower shelf also have things on it

It can definitely handle 5 hangers. Of course if you're trying to fit 5 bulky winter coats, maybe not, but if you're talking about 5 pairs of slacks or shirts, etc, then yes.

Yes. I have it completely filled with coats and so far it is taking the weight.

The look is fine, linear and simple. However, I think it will only work well for hanging up light coats & jackets. Because of the inside width, the doors will not close, they will keep ajar, with anything bulkier than a regular size raincoat. Hope this helps.

I use this in my laundry room but to answer your question I hung up a motorcycle jacket (very heavy) and another winter jacket. I it very sturdy. I would be confident to hang heavy coats and not worry.

Sorry - but definitely not. I'd say sure for 20 shirts, but coats or anything with some wieght won't work. The bars are metal, but the clips that hold everything together are a weak plastic.

Yes, this is pretty sturdy. ..I have this for very heavy winter coats. It works great!

The shelves are supposed to support 350 lbs. of weight. The rack itself should support approx. 40 garments easily assuming they're not all winter coats. I hope this helps.

It depends. You can fit up to 6 maybe 8 hangers with thin clothing articles. I can only fit 4 big garments. Three trench coats and one suade jacket.

Being stainless steel, my engineer husband said that the over the door hook could easily hold 75 lbs, depending on the structure of the support used. Our hook is hanging over a bifold door and only used for coats and/or hats. In his opinion,the door will give out before the hook does.

I would say it holds a good amount of weight. I have about 6 suits, about 10-15 dress shirts on the top rail and sweaters on the bottom rack. Still standing. I will say that if you can try to put it on as flat a surface as possible.
