1. A system for support and display of hanging articles and for mounting to a horizontal attachment surface, the system comprising:
a support arm including a first end and a second end;
multiple stays disposed at various locations along the support arm; and
an attachment member including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the attachment member configured to fixedly couple to the horizontal attachment surface, and the second portion of the attachment member configured to couple to the first end of the support arm so that:
the support arm can rotate around the first end independently of whether the attachment member is fixedly coupled to the horizontal attachment surface;
the support arm comprises a length portion that extends away from the first end; and
a majority of the length portion extends in a descending and non-vertical direction away from the first end, and wherein each stay, in the multiple stays, is configured to retain a portion of a hanger so as to impede the hanger from sliding in the descending and non-vertical direction; and
wherein the horizontal attachment surface comprises a shelf.
