A hat tree is the American English term for a hat rack or hatstand — that tall, branchy contraption in the hallway where coats and hats pile up until it collapses. The name is charmingly literal: it looks like a tree, you hang hats on it. In most modern homes it doubles as a dumping ground for everything from umbrellas to bags. Mostly a practical household item, though the term hat tree has a certain old-fashioned American domestic charm to it.
