ClosetMaid 1608 Closet Organizer Kit with Shoe Shelf, 5-Foot to 8-Foot, White

This is an amazing product! It was so easy to install and it is very sturdy. Every shelf and rack is covered so I cannot even imagine how much weight is put on this storage system, yet the shelves do not even budge in the slightest. My closet space has tripled and all for a VERY affordable price. Sure, the wire shelves are not the most attractive piece but if you cannot afford the $300+ wooden closet systems, this is a great alternative!

This would not work in the closet that I originally wanted it in as the side came to a v. My other closet was 8 foot 2 inches so I adjusted the marks on the wall to be an inch in on each side. That worked out fine. It did take a while to assemble and needs two people. I'm excited to use it in my new home as I had one in my previous apartment preinstalled.

The box came and it was all beat to h3ll. Rips, holes, missing box pieces. But the closet was all in there. The organiser works great in my small closet to give extra room for things to go. This still works for what I need it to! Also you are going to need a hack saw! To custom measure your organizer. This project was a pain from the start!!!!!

The short, the closet is well worth the price. Installation is a pain but that is expected of a product like this. Very sturdy and stores a ton. One downfall but this is just on my own personal preference. There are only 4/5 different heights you can choose from for your shelving. I wanted my top shelf higher so we had to drill an additional hole to hold the frames in the main two stands.I took quite a leap with this closet having no idea what to expect. It fit nicely into the space I have and I definitely prefer this to a basic one rod closet any day. However there were a few cons. It is pretty much impossible to install this on your own. I had to have my brother take over the project from me and he still needed help holding and placing the pieces together. Secondlly, it does take a long time. I think our entire project took over 2 hours. The closet structure itself is very sturdy which is great when you have much to put away. The biggest factor that still annoys me all the time is the sections of hanging. They are not continuous but rather in small sections. If you look at the picture on the left side you'll see what I mean. It starts with a small section about 6 inches wide, than a much larger section and so one. So you can only fit so many hangers in each spot and forget about slides the items over one by one when you're looking for a shirt to wear. Wish this improved. Overall it fits the need but has room for improvement.

This is a great product. The directions were accurate and easy to follow. We turned our old fashioned closet with one rod into a space saving, easy to organize, amazing closet. The nicest thing about this system is how flexible the arrangement of shelves can be. We have a walk in and I was able to do different arrangements on either side. I was also able to integrate in some other wire shelves I had purchased at a garage sale. I've put in a couple of closet systems in the past but this was by far the nicest set up.

I purchased this for my kids room but my closet fell apart so I "borrowed" it to use for my husband and I until i bought a replacement for us. Well this turned out perfect for us. I have a lot of clothes and this held all mine and my husband's one as well. I didn't need to cut anything as it was a perfect fit. And i used it against a sheet-rock wall. I didn't use the shoe rack for shoes. Instead i turned it into another shelf in the middle and it worked out perfectly. I was thinking this would be perfect for my kids room but now i'm thinking it will probably be too big so I will be purchasing more and using the top shelves for storage or something.

My closet was seriously overwhelming! Busting at the seams! This organizer was exactly what I needed! Super easy to install, and adjusted to fill my closet perfectly. I loved the fact that I can adjust the shelves to the height I needed. Now everything is perfectly Organized! I added some baskets to the middle shelves, as well as a few other things like a scarf hanger and tank top hangers (all purchased here on Amazon). My only complaint would be the area in which you hang your clothes. If your anything like me and have TONS of clothes, it's often difficult to move through them when they are packed in so tight. Each hanging area gives you about 6 " of horizontal bar space to hang before there is a vertical bar inbetween. Undertandably, because the hanging bar is so thin, these are needed to give it support so it does not bend.

Instructions are horrible, we found it difficult to install based on instructions. Difficult to level shelves and outside frame gets in the way of storage. Bought the other Closetmaid system with the shelf track which was a breeze to install but it is more costly. Budget wise this unit is less expensive and we didn't have to cut shelves like a lot of reviewers. Just bought rubbermaid for another closet as it was less expensive than closetmaid shelftrack system and no shelf cutting required but haven't yet installed.
