We're still daycare age so our backpacks just have spare clothes in them. I'm sure the hooks I have wouldn't hold up to bags full of books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hall-tree-suggestions#post-2924710 Fri, 20 Aug 2021 05:45:25 +0000 meadow 2924710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>👍👍👍👍👍 thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hall-tree-suggestions#post-2924709 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 14:09:15 +0000 Lahela017 2924709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have hooks and a bench with a shoe rack built in the bottom. That system works very well for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hall-tree-suggestions#post-2924708 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 13:43:25 +0000 Mama Bird 2924708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also did hooks. I only put in a couple for the kids, and it's definitely not enough. One of these days, will add some more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hall-tree-suggestions#post-2924707 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 13:34:26 +0000 ilovepie 2924707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have separate everything: bench and hooks and a cubbie (just a 4 cube shelf, 2 high, with baskets on the top and shoes on the bottom). I like that it was all cheap (shelf and bench were hand me downs) and I can rework it as they get older. </p> <p> Definitely get heavy duty hooks and anchor them well in the wall. Our kids pulled them both out at least once but now with good long anchored screws they can hold a full backpack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hall-tree-suggestions#post-2924706 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 13:19:20 +0000 meadow 2924706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MountainBaby: true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hall-tree-suggestions#post-2924705 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 10:04:13 +0000 MountainBaby 2924705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe not as elegant as an official tree, but functional and a lot cheaper - we went with separate benches and coat hooks so we could adjust the height to what we need. If you match wood tones they look like they belong together.</p> <p>Here are hooks we have: <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Franklin-Brass-26-51-in-Black-and-Satin-Nickel-Light-Duty-Flared-Tri-Hook-Rack-FBLDFT5-BSE-R/310597208" rel="nofollow">https://www.homedepot.com/p/Franklin-Brass-26-51-in-Black-and-Satin-Nickel-Light-Duty-Flared-Tri-Hook-Rack-FBLDFT5-BSE-R/310597208</a></p> <p>Here is an example of a bench with cubbies: <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/pep/SAFAVIEH-Lonan-Black-Storage-Bench-AMH5733E/206703037" rel="nofollow">https://www.homedepot.com/pep/SAFAVIEH-Lonan-Black-Storage-Bench-AMH5733E/206703037</a><br /> though I probably would go with a different color cushion than white for a mud room </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hall-tree-suggestions#post-2924704 Thu, 19 Aug 2021 09:32:50 +0000 meadow 2924704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to find a hall tree (I think this is what the entry way thing is called with cubbies &amp; then hooks for backpacks/jackets?) to put near our garage door. I don't want to spend a TON of money as we plan to redo the space in a couple years.... but we need a solution for now as the kids stuff has been a mess the last couple years.</p> <p>Do these things exist where kids (mine are 5...) can reach the hooks and hang up their stuff without climbing on it? I'm seeing hooks generally at the 5foot height.......</p> <p>:( </p>
