I forgot that word...

I would look at it (colgador) and I knew it was not the word needed.

It is a 'perchero' = coat rack, according to Google images. Your 'colgador' is fixed to a wall, and I don't know the name in English, perhaps also a coat rack.

For me colgador is what you use to hang the piece of clothing and perchero is what perikles and irmamar showed in which you hang your colgador or a piece of clothing directly to it.

Maybe you call 'colgador' to the object I call 'percha'

This is a percha, for me:

Ok. Perchero is the one where perchas or colgadores go.

Percha is from Latin pertica, a pole or stick. In English it is perch, specifically something which a bird stands on.

Will this thread ever end? How do you all get such large pictures in your posts?

As Elaina, for me there's no big difference between a "colgador" and a "perchero"
I usually call "perchero" the units in armchair, and the one-standing-poles, and "colgador" the less bigger thing, hanging on the wall/door.
so "coat rack" =perchero and "hanger"=colgador, but in the middle size can be both.

Saludos

Look at the icons over the answering box. You can see something that looks like a photo with mountains. Click there and copy the link you want (you can find images using Google - images).

By the way, when I pass the mouse over the icon, it says "Insertar imágen", and "imagen" has no accent.
