Hangers can be made from a variety of woods—maple, walnut, beech, oak, cedar, and even bamboo. Each type has its own unique characteristics, but none quite match the overall quality and performance of beech wood. As for NAKATA HANGER, since our products are wood-based items, choosing the most suitable wood is also one of our priorities.
Beech is one of those materials that just feels right—strong, reliable, and easy to work with. It’s been trusted for years in furniture and woodworking, and there are good reasons why. It’s not just about how nice it looks, with its smooth grain and warm color. Beech is also non-toxic and safe, which makes it a great choice for things that stay close to you and your family—like kids’ toys, or something you use every day, like wooden hangers.
Among its many strengths, durability stands out the most. With proper care—such as avoiding direct sunlight and keeping it in a dry place—beech wood can last a lifetime. That said, like any wood-based product, it's best not to use it with wet or damp clothing.
Even though it’s a hardwood, beech is easy to work with. It’s strong enough to last, but not so hard that it becomes difficult to shape. That’s why many woodworkers love it—it offers a good balance between strength and flexibility. There’s something reassuring about bringing natural materials into your home. Beech is simple and dependable—just what you want in something that shares your space every day.
From a sustainability perspective, beech wood offers a distinct advantage. Unlike many other hardwoods, it grows relatively quickly, making it a more environmentally responsible choice—especially when sourced from responsibly managed forests. And yes, we are fully mindful of this in our sourcing practices.
At NAKATA HANGER, we are meticulous about the materials we use.
Our commitment to quality means we choose beech wood not only for its excellent workability but also for its environmental friendliness. This reflects our core belief: to uphold high standards not just for our customers, but for the planet and everyone we share it with.
