Retail Storage

Choosing garment racks for your store means that you need to look for three things; strength, value and durability. Choose professional grade garment racks that will be most useful in your store. Whether you use clothing racks for storage, inventory, fitting room organization or prominent product display, you will surely appreciate a well-made product that is reasonably priced and strong enough to withstand whatever use it is put through.

For storage, you may not need to get ornate or elaborate clothing racks. Strength will be your main concern. Large casters and heavy duty construction are a must. Z-racks, or nesting racks, are popular for storage. The bottom bar is molded into a z-shape. This allows you to push more than one rack together. They fit together like puzzle pieces. This helps you to maximize storage room space without sacrificing durability or the quantity of clothing you need to hang.

To find the best value, compare prices of top manufacturers. You can easily find customer reviews online. Buying directly from the manufacturer will help you save money. Compare specifications about the garment racks you are considering, as well as the price so that you can make the best decisions. Make sure that you ask for professional grade clothing racks when you order. Many racks on the market today are made for home use, or light use. A lot of them only hold around one hundred pounds, which is not nearly enough for most retailers. Retail stores generally need a rack that can support around two hundred pounds or more.

Make sure that you order from a manufacturer that has been in business for a long time. Ask about returns or satisfaction guarantees. Select a company that is reputable and stands behind their product. Ask about construction. Most garment racks will need to be put together after they arrive. Will you need any special tools? How many pieces does the rack come in? Are there sharp edges that may be a hazard to customers? These are all questions that you may want to ask.

  1. Great post! I can't tell you how many times clothes have fallen off of unstable cheap imported z-racks. They also break very easily. Cheapest is not always the way to go. You may want to check out www.clothesracks.com they have free shipping and great products made in the USA.
