They’re hangers. They do the trick.\n\n1. these hangers are cheap AF, so if they break O M G get over it and spend $15 to order another set OR go to your local dollar store, get some super glue, and fix it. Again SUPER CHEAP!\n\n2. Why are we rubbing the velvet when we order??? Are y’all dumb????\n$15 hangers are gonna rub off. Again C H E A P - you want better quality, SPEND THE MONEY FOR BETTER QUALITY!\n\n3. Before you right a childish review, act your age & not your shoe size.

Often purchased because they’re cheap to buy in bulk, save space and are non-slip.\nI switched over solely to these about a year ago when I came to the conclusion I wouldn’t magically have more closets but needed more space. I’ve bought priced bundles as premium stores and cheaper bundles at HomeGoodMaxxMarshallRoss stores.\nThey’re all nearly identical.\nYes, they save space.\nYes, they’re perfect for clothes that normally slip and slide.\nOccasionally, some handles swivel loosely and occasionally some don’t.\nSome seem sturdy and perfect, while others are ridged and snap or the handle pops out.\nThis is why I buy double what I need and loose about 25% to breakage.\nPerfect for 100% cotton clothes, bad for silk, rayon and the like.\n\nRules of thumb: if it bunches up when ironing or normally slides off a plastic hanger, the clothing item may stick to these. If it pills up or sheds or leaves a lot of lint in the dryer, the velvet may rub off on these. The latter is solved with a decent multi-handle lint brush.\nIf you hang your clothes wet or damp, maybe wait to transfer to these.\nIf you’re worried that much about velvet rubbing off, there are ridged, low-profile all-plastic hangers out there, but they’re pricier.\n\nFor cheap, space-saving, decent hangers that nearly double your closet space and keep clothes from sliding off, these work great.\nJust be wise and pay attention to what you’re hanging on them and use a little finesse.\nIf you have expensive items or a lot of silk, maybe skip these.\nIf you’re really worried about the velvet rubbing off, get the grey and NOT the black. I’ve found the grey doesn’t rub off as much, but the handles are less likely to swivel and more likely to pop out.\n\nOverall< know what you’re getting into with velvet hangers or stick to wood or plastic.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are exactly what I expected. These are decently sturdy, if 1 was super flimsy and 10 were solid I’d rate them about a 7.\n\nI have some that are sturdier and some that are flimsier. There is bound to be some fatalities- even with more expensive hangers I’ve purchased so at least with this bundle it’s not as devastating.\n\nI used to use plastic hangers and I switched to the flocked hangers because they save space and are anti slip since I always remove the garment straps that help the garment stay on the hanger.\n\nFlocked velvet does shed. I expected these because I’m a textile geek and to me it’s just common knowledge. But I have a trick for this!\n\nWhenever I get new hangers my process is to use the brush attachment on the vacuum and run over the bundle of hangers before I even unwrap them, this helps to reduce the “dust” or fall out from traveling too far.\n\nThen I get some old cleaning cloths one to get wet and one for drying (if you purchased black or other colors some dye fallout might stain so don’t use nice cloths), then I put a little bit of dish soap on the first cloth and soak it with warm water, the cloth can be wrung out or sopping, but then I go over the hanger once, then I’ll give a quick rinse with warm (not hot) water, then I’ll use the dry cloth and make sure the hangers are mostly dry.\n\nI hang them on a clothing rack, a shower rod would work, or a clothes line in the sun to finish drying. Don’t put wet hangers in the closet or touching one another because you don’t want mildew.\n\nOnce they’re dry (I usually wait a day) it’s safe to put your clothes on them. To ensure the safety of your garments in the future never hang wet or damp clothes on the hangers or some stain could transfer.\n\nIf you notice more flocking residue after this process you could repeat again. I’m not sure how much fallout to expect with this brand so if I have more tips I’ll add later on.\n\nHopefully this is somewhat helpful!\nOver all super happy with this purchase.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I just received these today and already changed out my old plastic hangers for these ones for my portable closet. It did save me space and it looks more uniform instead of having different types of hangers. I didn't receive any broken hangers and did not notice any shedding from the velvet like some other reviewers. Possibly there are some good batches and some bad ones? I will definitely be ordering another 50pk of these to start on my actual closet. The price if very good compared to other retailers. In my before and after pictures (ignore the mess I am rearranging and going through stuff) I took out 3 shirts but then added probably about 10 more shirts. Not all of the hangers are these ones (just the 50 black) the rest are from either the Dollar Tree (3 for $1) or Ross/Marshalls which was maybe 10/20 for $10 or something. So the colored ones and some of the black ones are not these ones. I have only had them a few days and they haven't broken nor have I noticed any fuzz/lint from them though as you can see most of my clothes are dark colors."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I ordered the set of 50 based on the 3k reviews. When I took them out of the bag, I placed them on my bed- a king size with white sheets. Immediately, I discovered a cloud of black dust all over the place. I ran my hand on the hanger, and the velvet flocking just came off. If you read other reviews, you will see similar experiences. I have other velvet hangers that do not shed like this. I am shocked that Amazon would put their name on such a defective product. These are going back asap and now I have to wash my sheets - that were literally just washed and put on the bed prior to this. Grrrrrr.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is the greatest deal on velvet hangers---if you can get them for under $13 or so for a pack of 50 then it's a steal, and you should snap them up. I can't sing their praises enough---just do yourself a favor and buy 1 or 2 packs so you can do a closet overhaul---you'll be amazed at how much more you can fit into your closet when the clothing is on skinny hangers.\n\nThe velveteen flocking really does grip even the slipperiest silk shirts, so no more finding shirt puddles on the floor of your closet!\n\nUnlike some of the dissatisfied reviews here, I had no problems with the flocking. There's no velvet dust , and no residue on my hands or clothing. I'm guessing sometimes there are batches that aren't as good as others, just like everything else. If that happens, just exchange them---Amazon stands by anything with the AmazonBasics brand."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have been using these for about a month and several have snapped off and broken. I haven't put anything heavy on them, only lightweight summer clothes. You can see in the photo this one snapped from a silk dress.

Well, the one star reviews were accurate. I pulled the hangers out and rubbed the velvet between two fingers. SO MUCH black velvet dust or specks came off and stuck to my hand. When I looked at where I laid the hangers on the floor, I can see a film of the black dust.\n\nIf this bothers you, you should go with wooden or stainless steel or even plastic hangers. On the plus side, Amazon gave me my refund easily with no issues.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I was reluctant to buy another brand's velvet hangers on amazon because reviews mentioned that several hangers came already broken, or broke while attempting to hang a shirt on it for the first time.\n\nI noticed these amazon basics hangers and knew I'd want to give them a try, not only for the lower price, but also for the great quality I associate with amazon.\n\nAll 50 arrived in perfect condition. No breaks, tears in the velvet, or damage. I spent about 30 minutes rehanging my clothes on these and dropped them multiple times in the process and had my cat (and self) step all over them with no problem.\n\nPros:\nEasily hangs tank tops, strappy dresses\nVery thin hangers save space\nLightweight and aren't straining my old house's closet rod like those clunky plastic hangers\nVisually consistent and appealing\nMetal top can be rotated for garment to hang in either direction in closet\n\nCons:\nNone so far\n\nI gave it 4 stars because it is my first day using them, so I'll report back in a few months about the quality. The reason I came back to this page today was to order another box of 50.\n\nUpdate 4/21/14: I've been using these hangers for the past 2 months with no issues. I hang dry all of my tops and dresses directly out of the washer, and the wet garments have not affected the velvet on these hangers. Another pro I've noticed is that the metal can be rotated, which is great because my boyfriend can't seem to hang anything in the proper direction, so I just spin the top around and everything faces the same direction in my closet.\n\nUpdate 7/20/14: I've had these for 5 months with not a single issue. Not one broken hanger. I upped my review to 5 stars. Buying another set. I will not stop until everything I own is on one of these.\n\nFinal update 3/4/15: It's been over a year. Can't tell the new hangers from the old hangers. Boyfriend that hangs garments in the wrong direction is now fiance that hangs garments in the wrong direction. I still swivel the top."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "SO happy with these so far. I had heard multiple times that these hangers would change my life. While this sounded nice, I struggled to justify spending money on hangers when I already have a couple hundred here that work just fine. However, after needing to add career clothes to my wardrobe and completely losing all free movement remaining in my closet, I put these in my cart. They came today and I've already switched out my whole closet (except for skirts - I am awaiting finger clips from Amazon to convert these hangers to pant/skirt hangers).\n\nGoing through my entire closet lead me to get rid of a couple of things that I no longer wear. However, the difference in my closet because of the hangers alone is striking. I can finally shift clothes to the side to actually see what I have. While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet."}]
