For those of you who are organized, recommend a "coat basket" please!

I saw this on another thread, but I am wondering what people use specifically. Stupid, I know, but there is so little time and money, I want to make the right choice ONCE, you know? The coats (and hats, mittens, scarves) are TAKING OVER.

TIA

I've seen people use those over-the-door shoe holders for scarves, mittens, hats, etc. and always thought it was a great idea. I think the clear plastic would work better than the canvas, since you could more easily see what was inside, but here's what I mean - http://www.organizeit.com/pootdcansh.asp

As for the coats - I say install kid-level hooks so that the kids can get into the habit of hanging their own (now or eventually, depending on age of course).
