Everyone accumulates lost hangers, especially when storing seasonal items. Bare hangers look like crap when left dangling in the closet, and they become a tangled mess thrown into a pile—but you shouldn’t throw them away. You might need them for guests or after your next big shopping spree. That’s great triangular bag allows you to put them in a corner until they are needed.

“Storing hangers is such a pain,” said one five star fan. “I can’t believe I never knew this product existed. … Very sturdy, easy to put together. Don’t be alarmed if it seems a little small for larger hangers – part of the fact that it’s canvas means it can bend and stretch a little to accommodate hangers of all sizes, and I love the long handles to help carry it from room to room as needed.

“Don’t fail!” added other. “It accommodates several hangers well, is beautiful and resistant and the best part is that it doesn’t ‘fall’, which was a complaint I read in other people’s reviews. It has three rods that slide into pockets inside the bag and closes with velcro. Definitely a good buy!”

It’s not just for the closet. “Get the laundry done,” wrote one satisfied reviewer. “Corrals hangers of all types and keeps them in one place. Place them on the floor, on the counter, or hang them.”

Buyers who think outside the box have found alternative uses for it triangular contraptionincluding storing sewing materials and transporting wire hangers back to the laundry room.

“Excellent quality! I’m glad I got this,” reported one buyer. “I had seen others and they looked so flimsy and cheap. I was going to make one myself until I saw this… It’s heavy and waterproof… and the inserts on the sides are wonderful. I’m not using it for hangers, but I I needed a corner basket near my sewing machine to store items that need [to be] fixed up. That’s the only thing that would fit in the space.”

The word perfect keeps showing up in reviews no matter the use: “Perfect for recycling dry cleaning wire hangers,” said another happy buyer. “This bag has the best reviews and is a quality item! I was looking for something to hold all my dry cleaning wire hangers. It has rods to support it vertically and handles to take it to the dry cleaners when full . But it also looks good in my closet.”

This handy helper would also make great corner toy storage in a playroom or hang it on a hook to collect towels in the bathroom (it’s waterproof). And imagine what that could do to the trunk of your car.

Any reviewer notes to take into consideration?

“It took a while to figure out how to attach the brackets and there is no lid to protect the contents from dust,” wrote one generally satisfied user. “But overall this is an excellent solution for wooden hangar storage. I just wish there was a [slightly] bigger than could accommodate my wooden hangers with the pants clip extension.”

“It needs to be a little bigger since you can’t just put the hangers in without arranging them in the corners,” said one final revieweradding: “Great concept. Great quality.”
