Do you happen to have any idea of how much weight these would hold? I love the way these look and I was trying to figure out if they would hold the kids school backpacks (usually loaded with stuff) as well as jackets/coats.

Nice project. If I'm interpreting dimensions correctly (I'm definitely not a carpenter), there is a 2" space between each hanger. It seems to me if you hang coats on adjacent hangers, there will not be sufficient space for them to hang straight down because of the bulk.

So put knit hats between coats or lighter coats alternated with big ones.

Some special tools needed but still a very idea with a great look.

I just purchased on of these and the only difference is on mine all the tabs can flip. Great job! and I agree for very heavy loads mount the hanger on a strip of plywood bewteen it and the wall.

I actually picked it up at Goodwill, but I saw some on Amazon search "coat rack flip down".

Since the coat hooks pull out and hit the wall, I would think it might be better to add a solid piece of wood to the back of the whole thing so the weight of the backpacks don’t put a hole through the wall eventually.
I have only been using these for about a week now for backpacks and rain jackets. I think a lot will depend on your wall and how you mount them.
