I originally bought these hooks for our laundry room in order to have cleaning utensils and such hanging up instead of being set against the wall. The hooks work great for that purpose, wonderfully well, in fact. I had one hook left over and attached it to the back of a bedroom door thinking the occupant could use it to hang a bathrobe or night clothes.....bad idea. The hook is too small and has too great a chance of poking a hole in a garment, especially a heavy one. For hanging laundry room or cleaning essentials it's perfect. Price was very reasonable, too.
