ClosetMaid1628 Closet Organizer Kit, 5-Foot to 8-Foot, White

Good

Closet organizer fits perfectly in my closet. Has great sections and easy to arrange the clothes.Very sturdy.

I purchased 2 of these one for a 5 ft closet and one for a 6ft closet. It was easy to install, but one of the boxes had a hole and was missing a pole.Lucky our local home Depot sells extra parts.It fit really well in our 6 ft closet but I had to go to home Depot and get diffent poles with more height choices for the 5 ft closet. It fit well in the 5ft wide closet but if you use the poles that come with the set you don't have enought room to hang adult size clothes. It is perfect for child clothing though.Overall very durable and fairly easy to install, just make sure you use a level!

I made the mistake of ordering this as a "Used-Like New" item. After I spent an hour pulling everything out of my closet, I opened the box to lay everything out and begin installing it. That's when I discovered that despite the "Inspected by Amazon" sticker, there were several things missing from the kit, including one of the 3 main shelves, a bunch of mounting brackets, and the instructions. I. Was. Pissed!! So I immediately printed a return label. But I still needed to do something about my closet, and fast. So I re-ordered it but as a brand new kit.When it arrived, I opened the box to take inventory, happy to see everything was there. Then, I set about reading the instructions a couple times, making sure I knew what I needed to do, had the tools I needed to do it, and that I could do it all by myself. My dad was a phone call away, but I wanted to do it on my own. And it came out exactly as I hoped. So I'm not sure why other reviewers complained that it was difficult, even impossible, to install. I even had to change the height spacing of one shelf to have enough room to hang long blouses. All I had to do was re-measure the bracket spacings on the wall and drill a small hole in one of the poles. No biggie. Now my closet is gorgeous! (Yes, I did paint the back wall a bright turquoise and stenciled in a small cluster of silver stars. Because I could.) My dad stopped by the next day, and took a look. He was impressed by how sturdy, level, and roomy it all turned out. In fact he said, "Don't let your mom see this, or I'm going to have to put one up in her closet next."So, if you need to overhaul your closet, I would suggest buying a new kit - NOT USED! - and make sure everything that's supposed to be in the box, is. If you can, take your closet doors off. Read and re-read the instructions, gather the necessary tools, and take your time. It's not rocket science.Oh, and yes, you can modify/customize this to have the double shelves on either the left or right side of your closet. Or even buy 2 kits and really go crazy. I added another shelf that I purchased separately, and still only used one of the poles, instead of two. It's just as sturdy and suits my needs better.

Better than the single wire shelve it replaced. BUT Closetmaid should clarify the installation instructions. The dimensions for the wall anchors are supplied for the 8 foot closet . Also you have to choose WHAT size to cut the 3 shelves for your closet size from the supplied 48" length. They neglect to specify what dimension the 2 support poles are to be? Other than there is supposed to be 1 1/2" overlap on each size of the 18" center shelf. As a mechanical designer I definitely could have composed better instructions, but...I shouldn't have to. My wife seemed satisfied with the additional storage it supplied.

I have very small room and can't fit a dresser in there so i started looking around to see what else i could do with the space. my closet is too small for this set up but i did have a empty wall. the track system was to expensive so i was hunting around on amazon which really has everything you could think of (type in canned haggis to see what i mean) and i found this kit. i had it up in two hours mostly prep, measuring and drilling etc. I set it up different than the picture and i drilled holes in the support poles to put the shelves where i wanted them. also i didn't use the little spikes they give you to secure the brackets to the walls. piece of advice if you want to customize it to a height of your choice have your brackets and shelves ( with the clips attached) up, push the poles into the floor and mark them with a sharpie make sure it's level then drill the holes and put the support poles on, it will make it more secure. keep in mind if you want to put heavier stuff then clothes on this you may want to buy support braces. they're not that much and then you won't worry about then shelves collapsing. i'm a woman and fairly tool savy, the amount of time it took and the result was easy and worth it.
