"Great Cheap and very versatile closet solution" | |
| - Reviewed By An Amazon User from New York USA |
This is the easiest, most versatile and most importantly one of the cheapest closet solution you will find. There are better looking one out there but they cost hundreds if not thousands more. If you want fancy look than check out other products but you will not find more bang for your buck in closet organizing market.
Very important is the fact that this particular Rubbermaid system is very easy to install and NO cutting is required of any kind. They designed this system with easy install in mind. To adjust length you just overlap shelves and main hang rod. |

| After moving into my new home I realized I have TOO MUCH STUFF! So, in the mean time as I go though all my junk, I found the Rubbermaid Configurations Closet Kit to be an outstanding way to maximize my closet space and store some of my stuff. I ended up buying 2 of the kits and custom cutting the top hang bar to fit a long/wide master bedroom closet and a smaller guest room closet. The amount of additional storage space has really made me happy and it was pretty easy to install. It's nice to have someone helping, but possible to install solo. I'm going to buy the Rubbermaid solution for garage storage and organization next. |

"Easy to install!!" | |

| I installed this closet system in about an hour and 1/2. The directions are very clear, all the parts where there and intact/undamaged. The system seems sturdy and extremely well made. Could configure this in a zillion different ways. The only thing I would do to make it better is include a couple more end caps for the hang rods. I ran a little short on those with the configuration that I chose. Nothing that I can't resolve on my next trip to any home improvement store. An excellent value for the $$. |

"Great value for those on a budget!" | |

| I've always dreamed of having a custom closet but since I have California Closet taste on an IKEA budget, I thought that it was out of reach for me. :-) Then, I stumbled across the Rubbermaid Configurations Kit on Amazon. First of all, I must say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amazon! I have purchased books here for years but only in the recent years have I begun venturing into other product categories. I am a SERIOUS bargain hunter and have found their prices to be very competitive. Couple that with FREE shipping and NO tax and I always manage to wrangle out a significant savings over local brick and mortar stores! So back to the review. After I read all of the 5 star reviews of other Amazon shoppers who have purchased this kit I knew I couldn't go wrong! My old setup was approx 9 feet of the standard hang rail and shelf on top. If you are tearing out existing hardware like I had to do, don't forget to include the cost of tools and materials for that (pry bar, nail hole filler, paint, etc). Just as everyone said in their reviews, the kit was amazingly easy to install. Several people mentioned having issues with the anchors, but mine installed effortlessly (call me lucky!). Installation was a snap - the main wall hardware was up in a couple of hours. Then came the FUN part - deciding on the perfect configuration! I was working with a 7 ft space so I just picked one of the sample setup pics from the box and voila! Done! In regards to accessories, I looked past the negative reviews on the pant rack and got it - but decided at the last minute not to use it, ironically. It does take up quite a bit of space for the size so I just kept the section that I was going to use it in as hanging space and purchased pant hangers instead. I also bought the Sliding Basket - LOVE IT, used it for my purses and plan to buy 2-3 more. I got the belt and tie rack as well and love the fact that it slides in and out! All in all, I'm thrilled with my new closet. Where I previously had just 9 feet of linear wall hanging space and a shelf on top, now I have 8 feet of hanging space, 8 feet of shelf space and a drawer! If you are unsure about purchasing this, in my opinion, this appears to be the best value in this price range. I almost purchased the comparative Closet Maid system but decided not to, since it got nowhere near the huge number of positive reviews. I checked IKEA but they only sell free standing closet systems. ELFA at Container Store was too expensive. So what are you waiting on?! Check out my before and after pics - I would love to get your opinion! |

"Great system" | |

The description on amazon is confusing and seems to conflict with itself, so let me tell you what I wish I knew before I bought this:
The whole system hangs on a flat bar that goes horizontally. That means if you want any additional vertical bars, you'll need to hang them on their own - keep that in mind for figuring out how many screws you need.
If you don't have drywall (like in a condo or apartment) you'll need your own screws and anchors.
To figure out if it will fit in your closet, the first section (2 vertical bars and a shelf, for example) is 26", while each after that is an additional 24". So if you'd like to have 3 sections, that would be 26"+24"+24" = 6'2". You also need 2" on the left end of the flat hang bar, so that makes it 6'4" wide. This is ONLY important if you're going to be hanging any permanently-wide add-on items like the pants rack as all the shelves that come with it are adjustable width.
I love the system, it looks great, but it was really difficult to put up in concrete walls. We figured it out and used our own screws and anchors, but wow... what a lot of work! |

| Excellant quality of shelfing. This is the second closet I have done with configurations. Love the matte silver color. Only one draw back is that I was missing a bracket. I did recieve the bracket. |
