This is a coat rack with four wood hooks, one wood basement and a clear acrylic stick. Because of its clear stick, it creates an illusion that the presence of coat rack disappears in a dark room and your coats hanging on hooks look like they are in the air as if you see a phantom there. This coat rack can be assembled without using screws or glue.
