Great run-down on these coat racks. My favorite was the twisted version... which would look great in any home, office, or place of business. I might have to stock up these at my coat racks web site.
In any event, thanks for highlighting "ten classic and not-so-classic" coat rack options. I look forward to future posts.
You're missing my favorite coat rack of all time. THis one from "From the Source" for $325.

I think all of these are excellent models to emulate while flexing your DIY muscle (while at the same time saving a bundle).
I love the tra coatrack so much it has me thinking of trading the janky urban outfitters one I have in for something better.
MY favorite "coat rack" isn't a coat rack at all. "Hinge It" sells a variety of hooks that fit into the hinges on the back of a door. If you only have one or two jackets, this is perfect. They also have great towel racks for behind the bathroom door, etc. I love these things! www.hingeit.com
