But like the others, I think it needs a better angle, or maybe a small lip on the edge. Don't want to knock off other coats while trying to get yours off, just by simply brushing against them.

We'd use this at our truck repair shop for the mechanics to hang their coveralls on. A place to put their own safety glasses, keys and change. It's a great organizer. I like this!.

In making some functional design assumptions, I am assuming it's about 3" wide and 4-5" deep. Coats can't hang on any circular item much larger than that. So, it would be fine in an office, if indeed it is that small. My real issue is it's designed for people who wear one or two jackets and tall people. If I put my keys in one of those, I will never find them. I change coats often, and I leave them on coat racks. Also, I am short. Coat hangers are usually mounted higher to accommodate men's sized long coats. Neither I nor my 6 sisters would ever see the inside of this. I do like it quite a bit. One question. Doesn't this item seem a perfect candidate for recycled rubber/plastic? It’s difficult to understand scale with this photograph.

The idea is good, the execution lacks practical thinking. ;) A non slippery surface on top would do the trick (or use a non slippery surface material on the whole thing)And it's not really something you would hang up in an office, unless you have enough space to hang these things.

Good. Execution? . Why would one use a slick surface and barely noticable angle to make such a thing? Casually placed coats would fall right to the ground. Why not a hard rubber surface instead?
