Dowel Tree Coat Rack

his design lets you build a full-size coat hanger using cheap, easy-to-find round wood from a hardware store. The printed parts act as the joints, feet, and branching connectors, turning ordinary wooden rods into a functional standing coat rack.

The structure has a natural, tree-like shape with several arms for coats, hoodies, hats, bags, scarves, and everyday objects. The white 3D-printed connectors give it a sculptural look, while the wooden dowels keep the object light, affordable, and strong.

The design is easy to assemble and does not require complicated woodworking. Cut the dowels to your preferred length, slide them into the printed connectors, and secure them with screws where needed.

What you need

Notes

The final strength depends on your print settings, the quality of the wood, the screw placement, and how tightly the dowels fit into the connectors. For heavier coats, use strong material, enough walls, and solid dowels.

This is a functional print, but also a sculptural object for the entrance, studio, bedroom, or hallway.
