    Just spend a fortune on nice wooden ones that are sturdy and a nice shade of fancy wood you like & never worry about hangers ever again. And make sure the hardware suits the fancy particular wood you choose. Don’t want a pine/gold (ick!) fiasco happening in that closet! Be sure to buy a couple hundred so you don’t run out!

    If it were me I’d go like a nice dark walnut and anodized black hardware. That would look so stealthy and cool!

    Or just do like I actually do and get free wooden ones off Facebook marketplace! Lol

    From just reading the headline, I was a bit hesitant to open this post… We use the heaver-duty wire hangers since we don’t have much closet space and can cram more in that way.

    I do woodworking as a hobby and would be willing to sell some granted I was provided with dimensions and preferred materials.

        Lmao I honestly didn’t know people have wooden hangers. We just use the cheap plastic ones. But someone said something about wooden hangers and I do woodworking as a hobby so I thought; hey, I could probably make a hanger!

    I think the cheap wire ones are the best because they take up the least amount of space

      Where do you even buy these anymore? I agree with you, but I only ever see those shitty highly-breakable plastic ones.

    Honestly I never cared. But I always hated flimsy ones. If I can’t bend it like a twist tie, its good enough for me.

    The edge of the bed?

    Otherwise, them fancy padded ones are the only type narrow enough for jackets unless I use children’s hangers.

    The kind with clips on a bar are great for trousers/shirts & ideally the kind where the bar can swing out & with soft lining on the clips.

    Prefer if the head (or hook bit?) swivels, but wire hangers are easy to bend & have other uses so I like to keep some to hand. They can also be bent to fit my jackets & padded with old cloths if necessary.

    For t shirts, I like the slim velvet ones. The velvet keeps the shirts from sliding off and they take less space than the usual plastic
    For heavier or nicer things, wood.
