JP sent in a good question: Hi. It has been a year and a half since Chicago AT posted about various "anti-closet" options, including the Tom Dixon wire coat rack. I LOVE the coat rack, especially with two of the smaller racks together wrapping around a wall. Problem is, at 300 to 350 per unit, even one is waaay more than I can afford...

-- no less two....I'm buying my first co-op apartment soon, and I need so many new furniture pieces... a funky coat rack isn't what I can spend real money on right now, no matter how fabulous.I'm wondering if anyone in AT's community knows anywhere I might be able to find one of Dixon's coat racks used for, say $50 to $75? Or, is there a knock-off or something very similar that would be much less expensive? Thanks!

They are both under Home Accessories on the link I posted before.
Oh gosh! So they are the Hanger Coat Rack and the Shoe Rack.
Done. Really. I swear.
JenPDX - That CB2 one is close. Not nearly as cool, but for 1/10th of the price as the Tom Dixon rack, it's definitely in the running.
Rosaleen, the shoe rack is very cute. I could see that in someone's beach home. (Not for me, but definitely cute.)
Anyone else know of other coat racks similar to the Tom Dixon rack?
The Tom Dixon coat rack has to be my absolute favourite, but I do like this one from Design House Stockholm too, a similar concept and at a fraction of the price: http://scandinavian-details.amazonwebstore.com/Design-House-Stockholm-Wave-Hanger-Black/M/B000M557E2.htm?traffic_src=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle
I work with a metal fabricator here in Maryland. I'll bet he could make that. It would certainly be cheaper.
I love the show ledge. I think the blood stains would show on the white floors from turning the corner and gouging open a shin though.
There is a metal shop across the river in Hoboken, they could probably do a rougher, more industrial version for very low cost. Sorry cannot remember the name but a google search would probably find them. Nice design!

Does anyone know where can I find the metal shoe shelf that's mounted to the wall below the coat rack?
One might be able to make something similar with flexible copper tubing (the same stuff used in plumbing a furnace humidifier).
