As autumn fast approaches, it's time to think about where to hang the jackets, the hats, the umbrellas, and on and on. An unsung hero of the organizational world is the humble coat rack. Here are ten classic and not-so-classic options.

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
