The Umbra Picket serves as both wall art and a functional storage rail, using beveled pine wood dowels that flip down to act as hooks. When the hooks are not in use, the unit appears as a 3D wood sculpture. The solid pine construction offers good durability for the pivot points, and the 45-degree beveled cut of the wood provides a natural notch for hanging items. This unit is highly adaptable, as it is pre-drilled for both horizontal and vertical mounting depending on your space requirements.
Because the hooks are made of smooth finished wood, they work best for items with straps or hanging loops. The hidden mounting system ensures that the hardware does not distract from the aesthetic of the piece. To support the weight of multiple heavy coats, it is a practical step to use metal toggle bolts or to secure the unit directly into wall studs, as the lever action of the hooks can put significant pressure on standard drywall anchors.
The Picket is a versatile choice for small apartments, functioning as decor when the hooks are retracted.
If you prefer the added utility of a top shelf for mail or keys, the Homode Wall Hook System might better suit your entryway needs.
