Abstract: A space-saving clothes hanger rod structure is provided which holds clothes hangers, and clothes hanging thereon, in an optimal angled position within a closet. There is provided a generally V-shaped rod, when viewed in cross-section, including two upwardly extending members extending at an angle up from a common base point, defining a V-shaped gap therebetween. Both of the upwardly extending members contain at their respective outer, spaced apart edges a plurality of respective longitudinally spaced slot-like channels, each channel being adapted to receive a portion of the arcuate surface of a hanger hook, so that the respective hanger hooks ares held in place at two spaced apart points along the arcuate surface of the hook. As a result, the respective hanger hooks are prevented from moving and rotating off of the angle of the channel, preferably about 50.degree.. Therefore, clothes may be hung within a closet having a minimal depth therein.
