The VonBueren clothes hangers proved to be a very good product overallin our test. Thanks to the very robust design and the use of wood as a material, the product offers sufficient stability for every item of clothing. The hanger can be used flexibly thanks to the additional crossbar, notches on the sides and a 360° rotating hook. Thanks to the lacquered wood look, the hanger is also visually appealing and fits stylishly into any closet.
In our test, we only noticed minor manufacturing errors in the millimeter range, but these did not affect the functionality of the product in any way. Overall, we therefore rate the product as a clear recommendation, which fits into any household, not least due to its excellent price-performance ratio.

The first impression
Packaging and contents
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Compact product packaging, unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided | 100 points |
| Package contents & scope | complete, no other content | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | Product self-explanatory, recycling instructions on the box | 100 points |
| Total | 100 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The VonBueren brand hangers arrive in a cardboard box measuring approx. 35 × 35 × 15 cm. In addition to the manufacturer’s logo, the box contains a multilingual product description and a short recycling notice. The box is sturdy and therefore offers sufficient protection for the 20 wooden clothes hangers inside. The manufacturer does not use any additional plastic film or unnecessary packaging waste, which we consider to be absolutely sufficient and resource-saving for this product. There are no instructions for use, but we consider the product to be self-explanatory. The product therefore makes a very good first impression on arrival.
The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Visual appearance | Attractive and timeless design | 100 points |
| Processing | Good workmanship, minor fitting inaccuracies on the inside edges | 80 points |
| Stability | stable and durable, suitable for the intended use. | 100 points |
| Sustainability of the product | Sustainable material, long service life, unfortunately no information from the manufacturer | 80 points |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
After unpacking, there is no difference between the 20 hangers included when you first look at them. They all have the same timeless wooden design.
In terms of the workmanship, some of the hangers unfortunately have minor unevenness or protrusions at the joints between the three wooden parts. However, some of these are only in the millimeter range, do not restrict the function or stability of the product and are sometimes only visible on closer inspection. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any information or instructions regarding the sustainability of the product. However, due to the material used (wood) and a stable and robust-looking construction, the hangers can be said to have a long service life and therefore a certain degree of sustainability. Further information on this subject from the manufacturer would be desirable.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Optics and design | Timeless, elegant design | 100 points |
| Material quality and surface | Smooth, lacquered surface, minor unevenness/protrusions at joints | 80 points |
| Load capacity | appropriate for the intended use | 100 points |
| Flexibility | Crossbar, notches, 360° rotatable | 100 points |
| Space-saving | Joins without protrusions, good organization | 100 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
In our practical test, the clothes hangers made a very good overall impression.
Visually, the lacquered wood makes a timeless yet appealing impression. No color defects or similar can be detected.
The surface is smooth and has no material defects. There are only minor protrusions and unevenness from sawing at the joints of the wooden components, which detract slightly from the otherwise flawless appearance of the coat hanger.
In terms of stability, however, the product is completely convincing. Even with heavy items of clothing such as suits, wet sweaters or heavy winter jackets, the hanger shows no signs of weakness. Only when subjected to unnatural, considerable pressure did the crossbar of the hanger give way in our load test.
Thanks to the 360° rotatable hook, the side notches and the additional crossbar, the hanger offers space for almost any type of garment and can therefore be used flexibly.
The hangers are also manufactured in such a way that they can be lined up next to each other without any gaps, whether hung or empty, so that space-saving organization is possible.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good performance in the lower price segment | 90 points |
| Rating cut | 4.7 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 85 points |
| Total | 88 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. Some criticize the inadequate paintwork and the resulting rough spots. Many customers like the fact that the hangers offer unbeatable value for money and are very sturdy. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the product is very stable and solid. However, we were unable to share the criticism of Amazon users, although other minor manufacturing defects were found in the hangers we received.
Prices of up to €28 per 20 pieces are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from around €16 per 20 pieces. The VonBueren clothes hangers are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of € 19.90 per 20 pieces . For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio isreasonable.
