A garment rack is a great way to organize the clothing pieces that you have just ironed or those that are meant to stay in a vertical position (like coats or dresses)
Posted by admin on
It can fit into a walk-in closet or can act as a free-standing structure somewhere in the bedroom, so it’s mostly a matter of personal taste and whether or not you want your clothes to stay in plain sight. But what do you have to look out for when you buy such a product and what are some of the best garment racks that money can buy right now?
Features to Look Out For
It’s important to know what you’re going to use a garment rack for because some of them come with extendable rods that allow you to place more large clothing pieces, while others are smaller and are best-suited for stuff like shirts of dresses. As you’re scouting the market for a new garment rack, here are some of the features that might make or break the deal:
The weight capacity of a garment rack is a super-important and decisive shopping factor. If you want to store your winter coats, then the rack needs to be able to support more weight, while lighter-weight clothes don’t demand racks with a large weight capacity. Some rack some with shelves and if you plan to use those shelves for multiple shoes or accessories, you’re going to have to consider the combined weight for whatever you’re going to store on those shelves.
The construction material plays an important part in the durability of the product, but it can also determine other factors, such as the size of the rack or whether or not it’s foldable and easy to store. Metal racks, for instance, are available in folding version, but wooden racks require that you take them apart completely if you want to store them away. The most common materials that are used to make clothing racks include wood, metal, heavy-duty plastic, canvas fabrics, and others.
It’s very likely for a metal garment rack to include caster wheels, but not all of them do and it’s not just metal racks that have them. Having wheels is important for those of you that plan to move the racks around the house and, no matter how heavy they are, they’re just easy to push/pull across the floor. Just make sure that the wheels can be locked so the rack doesn’t just randomly move around when it isn’t supposed to.
Depending on the model chosen, some garment racks come with adjustable clothing rods, so if you want to customize your rack, this is a feature you want to consider. Adjustability of a garment rack comes in many different forms: you can adjust the bars to make it higher or lower, you can adjust the clothing rod to make it shorter or longer, while some even allow you to adjust the height of the shelves.

Types of Garment Racks
Now that you know what are the features to look out for, let’s considered some of the most common garment rack categories on the market so that you can determine which of them meet your needs:
Metal racks are extremely common and most of them are made with heavy-duty metal for more stability and durability. Those of you looking for lighter-weight metal can look into powder-coated finishes. In the end, keep in mind that the weight capacity is super important, regardless of whether you choose a strong steel rack or not.
Wooden racks are a more traditional option, but they fit so well in traditional, rustic, coastal, boho, or other types of specific decors. Most of them are equipped with shelves and, once installed, aren’t easy to take apart or move around (unless they are equipped with wheels, of course). Wooden garment racks make it easier to add shelves if needed, as all it takes is drilling some holes into the frame and adding custom-made shelves that fit.
Plastic garment racks are for people who are on a budget. They are lighter in weight compared to the other two types, but they are less durable than either of the two as well. It’s common to witness rods on plastic racks starting to sag, so if you’re interested in more durability, look for PVC racks.
Single-bar garment racks are pretty much the industry standard. They can be recognized by having a single bar that runs across the top of the rack, with a rod diameter that’s suitable for your standard hanger. They are pretty simple in terms of design and almost all models have wheels.
Double-rail garment rack is for those of you that plan to hang a lot of clothes. There are different ways in which those two rods can be placed, such as two bars angled at the top or one at the top and another one halfway down.
Z-racks are pretty stable and that’s one of the reasons why they gained so much popularity. They are designed with an asymmetric base that’s literally shaped like the letter Z, which creates a sturdier base for garment racks.
Tripod garment racks have three legs with typically one pole with multiple arms. These racks are pretty stable and there are plenty of foldable options that you can collapse and store away when not in use.
