This is my 4th set of hangers - never a problem - always great quality and they do give you a lot more closet space. However, the most recent set I bought, some of the hangers just fell apart in my hand when I was unpacking them, and I have also noticed that on some of them, the "fuzzy" coating is coming off and the bare metal is showing through. Maybe the demand is so high for these that the quality is going down.
