Who this list is for
Children sharing a playroom can use this dress-up rack for easy costume access and simpler cleanup. The freestanding rack must be anchored or stabilized if young children could pull on it.
How to use this list
Position the garment rack on the washable floor mat and lock its wheels. Secure it with the wall anchor strap before hanging costumes on the 30 children’s clothes hangers. Put tiaras, capes, play hats, and costume jewelry into clear lidded bins, fabric cubes, or the jewelry organizer. Mount the low shatter-resistant mirror with its specified mounting strips, then add picture labels and label-maker tape so children can return pieces to the right spot.
Common mistakes
Do not use an unsecured rack as something children can climb or pull. Skip heavy storage on the top of the rack. Keep the mirror low, shatter-resistant, and firmly attached rather than leaned against a wall. Avoid unlabeled bins that turn cleanup into a pile of mixed accessories.
