Ross Pear Wooden Coat Rack - Beige

Our Ross wooden coat rack is a long wall rail made entirely of rubberwood, built up from a row of soft, rounded wooden shapes that overlap one another like pebbles laid along a shelf. Some are pear-shaped and stand forward of the rest, and those are the hooks: a collar or hanging loop goes over the narrow tip. The maker gives it as 70cm long, 12.5cm wide and 4.5cm tall, and it weighs 2KG, so it reads as a proper piece of furniture on the wall rather than a strip of pegs. The colour is a soft beige, with the wood grain plain to see on every shape.

At 70cm long it gives a hallway or entrance a run of hooks for everyday coats, jackets, bags and scarves, and it sits just as well in a bedroom for a dressing gown, tomorrow's shirt or a favourite tote. It also earns its place in a boot room or on the wall beside a back door, wherever coats tend to end up over the banister or on a chair. The soft outline suits a calm, natural-feeling room with plain walls and wooden furniture, and it is a good fit for anyone who wants their hooks to look like something in their own right when the coats are off.

Rubberwood is a dense, close-grained hardwood, and here it is finished in a clear lacquer, which lets the grain show while sealing the surface. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The overlapping layers give the rack depth on the wall, so it catches the light and casts soft shadows even with nothing hanging from it. For styling, hang it at shoulder height in a hall and let one coat or a bunch of dried grasses sit on a single hook, leaving the rest of the shapes on show; the styling props shown are not included.

What is the coat rack made of?

It is made of 100% rubberwood, a dense hardwood, finished in a clear lacquer that leaves the grain visible on every rounded shape.

How big is the coat rack?

The maker gives it as 70cm long, 12.5cm wide and 4.5cm tall, and it weighs 2KG, so allow a clear stretch of wall a little longer than the rack itself.

How do I clean it?

The maker's care instruction is to wipe it clean with a moist cloth, which suits the clear lacquered surface of the rubberwood.

Where does it work best?

It suits a hallway or entrance for coats and jackets, a bedroom for a dressing gown or shirt, or a boot room beside the back door.

Are the shirt and the dried grasses included?

No. The styling props shown, the shirt and the dried grasses, are not included; what you receive is the wooden coat rack.

What colour is the coat rack?

It is beige, with the grain of the rubberwood showing through the clear lacquer across each of the overlapping shapes.
