Small Space Solution: The Slat Rack by Wallter

A good solution for too-small-for-furniture entry areas is the Slatrack by Wallter. A wall-hung version of the "landing strip" it provides a place to hang stuff (jackets, bags, keys, helmet) and to stash your incoming and outgoing mail (there is a shelf behind the slats). It doesn't take up precious floor space, and it is sculptural...

...and colorful, making it a worthwhile decorative addition even when it is not in use.

The Slat Rack is made of powder coated steel and comes in green, orange, chocolate brown and white for $145. Available right here.

Very cool. It would work great for dog leashes too, which on my existing coat rack are always hidden under jackets because there aren't enough pegs for everything.

$145 though - really?
Amazing peice, I love it but not that price. The key part almost sold me but then I bought a chandelier for the same price. Make it out of recycled chewing gum for like $45.99 and Im in!

I really like the look of those! Must be pretty strong to hold up a bookbag, too. Still, I wish it were a little cheaper.

Thanks AT for the post! And thanks for the great comments.
Yes, $145 may seem like a high price, but please consider that these are made in the USA out of powder coated steal....not recycled chewing gum..which then you should only pay $12.99 for...

Hmmm. I don't think the cost is related to the little bit of steel....

Where can I find a cheaper version?

I just saw this in Toronto earlier today (the white one), and I believe it's on sale.

There's a high-end decor shop in Hazelton Lanes shopping centre (in Yorkville, at Hazelton and Yorkvill, behind the Hazelton hotel) - they were in the back of the store where sale items are usually kept, on the floor. There were at least 10 of them, all white.
