Summary: 5 Stars
I was hoping I made the right choice when I bought the Rubbermaid closet kit and now I know I did! The hubby and I put it up easily in under an hour. We moved into our new home less than two months ago and half of our closet was still in boxes or piled on the floor of the closet. This was our first walk in closet yet we couldn't walk in it! Not only can we walk in it now but we got all of our clothes unpacked and in there as well and we only bought a kit for one wall! We've already decided to purchase more and finish out our other closets. They seem really sturdy and my husbands clothes are hanging with no problem and he's a big guy so his clothes are really heavy. The shelves are my favorite part, since I mostly only hang my pants, and I would love to have a wall of shelves!Customer Review: Odd sized closet with existing shelving made installation a challenge

This was my first Rubbermaid 3H88 Configurations 3 to 6 Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit, White purchase and installation. I'm not a novice do-it-yourselfer, but I did struggle with installation a little bit, mainly due to the existing shelving and how that affected the installation of the first part of the project... the hang rail.
In the directions it says to hang the hang rail at 86.5", which was impossible for me to do without taking out existing shelving and potentially sheet rock! I opted to place the rail at 63" instead. For the most part, this was not a bad thing, but it did limit the configuration as I couldn't add the vertical extensions which would have supported add-ons.
Before starting the project I cleared out the closet, gathered the 'tools required' as on the box and unwrapped the parts; counting them to make sure I had a complete set. I actually recevied a couple extra small parts in my kit.
Quickly it became apparent that a good light source, a step ladder, and a stud finder would also be on my 'required' tools list.
From start to finish my project took me 2 hours and 15 minutes. The reading of the directions, the locating studs in the wall, drilling and making sure things were level took the most time. Once the rails were up, the rest was fun and easy.
When placing shelving there are 'A' and 'B' shelves. A is installed first, and B overlaps it if you're making a shelf that's going to run the length of the closet. If you are making short shelves, it doesn't matter whether you use A or B, but be sure you feed the front of the bracket through the front of the shelf and use the lock on the back of the shelf support to secure it.
When you install the hanging hooks (they support the hanging rods), they simply slip into the grooves underneath the front of the shelf brackets. It's very easy to do and they fit securely into the hooks so the rod doesn't slip around.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. It's well made, comes complete with good directions and gives me many more organizational options as promised. I also picked it up for under $80...which makes me feel a bit better about not being able to use those vertical extensions!

Customer Review: Poor customer service
Summary: 1 Stars
First, I loved the product itself. It was very easy to install and looks great. But BEWARE!!!! I have a small closet and had extra shelves so I wanted to purchase additional 47.5" uprights to complete the look. RUBBERMAID DOES NOT SELL 47.5" UPRIGHTS SEPERATELY. I had several emails back and forth with a Customer Service person who told me that they only sell them in the kits. Since they sell the 25" uprights separately, I found this to be completely ridiculous. So, if you want to expand your Configurations closet, you will need to purchase multiple kits or a TON of the 25" uprights to achieve the same end. While I liked the kit I still feel that RUBBERMAID SUCKS!!!Customer Review: Rubbermaid 3 to 6 foot closet

I put this closet up in my basement. I have tried lots of the portable closets but they all broke. This Rubbermaid Closet works great. I have a lot of clothes and it holds them all with out a bend.
Installation is easy also. I did it by my self.
