5,268👇 materials & links below! 👇 What do you call something that is a coat rack, magnetic key ring holder, entryway organizer, mail storage, floating shelf… thing? We don’t know either. But we made it and so can you!
NOTE: if you want to hang anything heavy on this you should mount it with something heavier duty like french cleats or keyhole hangers. You could also route keyholes right into the wood with a slotted router bit.

More thoughts on the project; This coat rack has made our entryway way more functional! We love that so many different types of storage are built into this piece - hooks, shelves, and key magnets. We also like that we were able to make it with a pretty limited amount of tools and inexpensive lumber. Something like this could also be used as a display shelf in a kids room (trophies on top, coats and backpack on bottom). I think it would be interesting to add lips on the left and right side of the mail holder as well to turn that spot into a catch all.
Also, we love the hooks we bought for this! They were SO much cheaper than most traditional coat hooks we found, they're simple and modern, and they're big enough to double up with coats.
