Any ideas on how to make this coat rack less infuriating? The angle of the pegs is so shallow that any more than one jacket per peg requires loads of faff and multiple attempts to keep them from falling off.

The pegs are glued in and I have had the following ideas, but would welcome any other suggestions that would be easy for an oaf with basic tools.
1. Notching the peg near the outer end to trap jackets before they fall off. (Least obtrusive to design but seems like the hardest to do well).
2. Some kind of pin in the top.
3. Some kind of disc glued to the end of each peg. (Would mess with the design a bit, pegs would stick out further than the shelf)

Neatest & nicest: flip it over and drill (with a pillar drill) from the bottom through each peg ~10mm from the end. Tap thin dowel / brass shelf pin in from the bottom to poke out the top.

Easiest: screw a stainless or brass M6 penny washer onto the end of each peg. Pilot hole to avoid splits.
