At 18" × 4.5" × 0.75" with a clear enamel finish and ready to hang, this is a piece that earns a spot in any entryway, kitchen, or beach house.

Handmade in Maryland
Every BCN Woodcrafts piece is individually crafted and finished in our Maryland workshop. Wormy maple is a special material — the natural tunneling left by beetles gives each board a pattern that's impossible to replicate. No two coat racks will ever look identical.
Real Wood Feels Better.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct moisture. The clear enamel finish protects both the wood and the hardware for everyday use.
