Using this coat rack is super easy. Just place it in a spot where you usually take off your coats, like near the entrance or in your bedroom. Hang your coats, scarves, hats, or bags on the hooks. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it down with a dry cloth every once in a while to keep it clean. Avoid placing it in very humid areas as metal can rust. Also, don't overload the hooks with too many heavy items to prevent it from tipping over.
