Garment racks, while typically known for their commercial use, can make for great storage and organization options in your own home. Use them for clearing up the clutter that has accrued on your floor or as an easy way to store your heavier seasonal clothing items (winter coats) that can take up valuable closet space.
Garment racks are also a great option for rooms that don’t have a dedicated closet or wardrobe for hanging clothes. With a garment rack, users can keep their clothes organized and wrinkle-free, regardless of how much storage space they have (or don’t have) in their bedroom, front hall or basement.
Below are some great garment racks that are either industrial-grade and/or heavy-duty and will hold all of your clothing and accessory items. Some of the racks are made with Z-bases that, when not in use, allows you to nest multiple racks, giving you greater storage and extra space. These racks also have fast and easy knock-down construction making them portable and easy to store. For users who want to be able to move their racks, we’ve included options with durable wheels.
Get your clothes off the floor and keep them clean and looking new with a useful garment rack.

4. Alera Wire Shelving Garment Rack
If you need a spot to store heavy winter coats, boots, shoes, and luggage, we recommend the Alera Wire Shelving Garment Rack. Made with strong welded wire, the Alera has a total weight limit of 350 pounds, considerably higher than any other garment rack on our list. Three individual shelves provide space for duffel bags, small suitcases, shoes and electronics while the four-foot hanging rod provides enough clearance to hang most clothing items. Four support hooks for umbrellas, bags, ties, belts or towels are included on one side of the rack. Four locking wheels provide easy maneuverability and the open design of the wire shelves helps to prevent dust build-up.
Pros: Impressive weight limit, high rack clearance, long shelves for larger items.
Cons: The Alera can be somewhat challenging to assemble.
5. Whitmor Supreme Double Rod Garment Rack
Hang your long and short items easily with the Whitmor Supreme Double Rod Garment Rack. The 76” high rack includes two hanging rods inside the rack for shirts and folded pants. An adjustable swinging hanger arm can also be utilized for a handful of longer items, like dresses or belts. The bottom and top rack provide some added storage space for lightweight items, including shoes and accessories. We also like that the Whitmore includes locking wheels for easy maneuverability and secure parking.
Pros: Locking wheels, swinging sidearm for long items, no-tool assembly.
Cons: The second rack has a very short clearance that makes it difficult to hang most adult-sized shirts.
