The body has opposite first and second surfaces and a plurality of longitudinally spaced-apart openings. The openings extend between the opposite first and second surfaces and are adapted for respectively receiving the necks of the plurality of hangers. The spacing of the hangers by the body inhibits wrinkling of garments or other objects carried by the hangers. The body has first and second longitudinally-extending portions inclined at an angle relative to each other.
