Using this coat hook is a breeze. Just find a suitable spot on the wall, preferably in a hallway or closet, and mount it securely. Make sure to use the appropriate hardware for your wall type. When hanging items, avoid overloading the hook to prevent it from bending or coming loose. For maintenance, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth every once in a while to keep the satin finish looking great. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.
