That base plate adheres strongly to any metal surface. I use it on the side of a tall file cabinet in work. It definitely can take the weight of any winter coat, including my parka.What I didn't like was the hanger itself, which is too light-weight plastic in my opinion. I replaced that with a standard metal-framed wooden hanger. So that's why 4 stars rather than 5 from me.
