Quality Check
Material Defects: Look for any cracks, rough spots, surface blemishes, or unevenness in the plastic.
Color and Finish: The color should be consistent, and the finish should be smooth to prevent snagging or damaging clothes.
Sharp Edges: Check for any sharp edges that could catch on or damage garments.
Sturdiness and Durability:
The hanger should feel sturdy and be made from high-grade, flexible plastic that won't break easily.
Weight Capacity:
It should be able to hold heavy items like winter coats without bending or deforming.
Hook Integrity:
Ensure the hook is securely attached, doesn't have a jagged edge, and swivels 360 degrees if that's a feature.
Non-Slip Features:
Check for built-in non-slip grips, grooves, or other designs that prevent clothes from sliding off.
Shoulder Shape:
The shoulder area should have a natural shape to keep garments wrinkle-free and without shoulder bumps.
Space Saving Design:
Evaluate the hanger's profile; it should be thin and sleek to maximize closet space.
Testing Methods (if available)
Load-Bearing Test:
Perform or request a tensile strength test to measure the hanger's maximum load capacity before it breaks.
Roundness Test:
Check the roundness of the hook to ensure it's smooth and won't damage the closet rod or clothing.
