Bought this for a really difficult space under our staircase; lacking anywhere sensible to hang coats, and having an old house, this clever little folding hanger offered a neat solution. Easy to install and strong enough to hold the coats required by our family of three (plus the dogs lead), this has indeed done exactly what was required. Like all great inventions this is simple to use, looks neat and doesn't take up any space at all when not in use - even when fully extended it doesn't take up a lot of space! Very happy.
