Abstract: A standing closet device which comprises a stanchion. A structure placed upon a floor in a corner of a wall in a room of a building, is for supporting the stanchion in an upright position adjacent the corner of the wall. The supporting structure preferably includes a pair of elongated feet horizontally connected together at a right angle to form a corner, with a crossbar extending between facing sides of the feet. Alternatively, the elongated feet can be hinged to the stanchion so that they can swing up for storage into notched out vertical areas at a bottom end of the stanchion. A plurality of arms extend horizontally at a right angle at various heights from the stanchion, so that various articles, such as clothing and linen can be hung upon the arms.
