A coat rack is light and simple, but its pole can dent or bend if it gets knocked around loose, and protruding hooks catch on everything from door frames to other furniture.
Pro tip: If hooks do not unscrew, wrap each one individually in a small bit of paper or bubble wrap so they do not scratch the pole when the rack is laid down.
Watch out: Do not carry a coat rack by gripping the hooks; they are decorative attachments, not structural handles, and can bend or snap under the rack's weight.
