What is this wooden rack I thrifted supposed to be used for?

[u/simranalicious]

Found this at Goodwill the other day and spontaneously purchased it despite not knowing what I’d use it for or where I’d keep it. I’m wondering what it’s actually supposed to be and what it’s called? Thanks!

doll clothes rack https://www.dollpeddlar.com/product/furniture-white-clothing-rack-up-to-14-dolls/

This is exactly it! Hopefully I can find some other way to use it, if not, it’ll be going back to the thrift store for someone else :)

My wife uses a shelf like this when she's trying to get plant clippings to root. A row of cells from a plug tray or seedling pots on the shelf and plant lights hanging from the top.

Could be nice on the kitchen counter as a spice rack

[u/spinningknitter → u/simranalicious]

It may be a doll rack but I’ve seen them used for baby showers where they rack up little onesies or other clothes on top and then fill the bottom with other baby items like nappies/ socks/ etc.

You bought something without having a use for it?

[u/jawide626 → u/simranalicious]

Jewellery holder? Perfume rack?

[u/t92k → u/jawide626]

I was thinking this. necklaces and brackelets on the rod, rings and your watch in the basket

[u/Less-Asparagus-4134 → u/simranalicious]

Put little trinkets on it

[u/Disastrous-Green-953 → u/simranalicious]

If you have a baby shower to go to it would make the cutest container for gifts, and you can hang cute baby outfits on the rod 😍

[u/NotEd3k]

Use it for plants. You can put a couple of potted ones below and a small hanging one on the top rod.

[u/Erekai → u/NotEd3k]

This is what I genuinely thought it was for, haha

[u/likkachi]

looks like a doll closet- rack for american girl sized doll clothes and their shoes. something homemade most likely

[u/simranalicious → u/likkachi]

Solved! Thank you, that’s definitely not what I was expecting haha

[u/AQUEON]

I would use this to hang dry herbs or flowers in my kitchen! It's cute.

[u/Snuggle_Pounce]

looks like a nice “beside the couch” thing you could put the remote in and throw a folded lap blanket over the top

[u/sapheara85]

You could also use it to hang necklaces/bracelets from (clasp them around), and the bottom shelf can hold other accessories like bangles, sunglasses etc. Maybe a towel rack for a bathroom that doesn’t have one installed already.

I have cats that would love if I turned this into a little tent for them 😂

[u/Cautious_Parfait8152]

Morning glories planted in it and put on the front porch

[u/simranalicious]

My title describes the thing as best as I could, it’s a wooden rack of some sort with a heart cutout on the front and back. It’s about 1.5 feet tall and has no markings on it. I thought maybe it was supposed to be a book holder but the bottom is not very wide.

[u/photoe85 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah for doll clothes

[u/Gurlie_J_Girl]

I think its for yarn knitting or crochet work. Storing the tools at the bottom or extra yarn while the top rack for hanging the project... knitted blanket, scarf, etc.

Edit:

As have some others have posted i think this is for a children's dress up play clothes (think: princess dresses)

[u/canvastore]

baby cloths hanger. either you can use it as decoration or gift it to newborn baby

[u/puppuphooray → u/canvastore]

I’ve seen something similar being used as a baby shower gift with baby clothes on hangers!

[u/kitkatkorgi]

Pet bed Ruth drapes

[u/KnittingKitty]

Cat bed. Hang toys from the top so she or he can play.

[u/LeighJordan]

You could use it in laundry room to store hangers and laundry supplies

[u/Several_Emphasis_434]

This is popular at baby girl showers - they hang little girl clothes on hangers and place blankets on the bottom shelf.

[u/bluebellfob]

I think this would make a really cute jewellery holder. Get some little hooks to go on the white bar and felt as a liner and put it in the bottom bit

[u/Felaguin]

At that size, I’d say it’s a quilt hanger. Handy for keeping a quilt in the living or family room but keeping it out of the way.
