Customer Review: Great Organizer
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my new house. I had no problems getting it installed so that when we moved in, it was ready to go. I highly recommend the system and will be buying other pieces to go with it.Customer Review: Great Product

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter's closet. It's great that everything is adjustable so I can move things around as she grows. It was very easy to assemble. I just needed a level, drill, & hammer. It took about 2 hours to assemble and get it situated the way I wanted.Customer Review: Great Product But Caution for Older Homes
Summary: 5 Stars
Quality is tons better than what I expected. Instructions could be a little better. Come with many configurations on the box but don't forget to check out their website as they have even more configurations. Looks tons better than what the closet originally had. For those of you living in older homes, as a previous review stated, please ensure you have even walls and can find your studs. Our walls were not perfectly even due to warping caused by the age of the house and we could not attach the 7' rod correctly regardless of how hard we tried. We had to give up on that configuration and decided to go with a different one - good thing it's easy to do on this. In the end, we ended up with the configuration shown above but in 7'. My wife isn't as tall as I am so she got the lower portion, I got the top and it's perfect for us. 5 stars easy.Customer Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
We started our closet "improvement" by first going to the Closet Maid site & using their "free" online design tool. Being free, it was totally confusing & kluggy to use. So I then used their $5.00 premium online design service, which gave me (2) designs along with a parts list. This is the part that drove me crazy...the parts list was complete, but it directed me to retailers like Home Depot but the disclaimer states that "a particular store might not carry all the parts for your design"!!?? I then asked the CM site if we could order all the parts directly from Closet Maid, only to get an email back stating that their partnership agreement(s) requires them to direct us to Home Depot!! I could not bear the insanity of driving to half a dz. or more Home Depots looking to fill the Closet Maid parts list. Enough said, they eliminated themselves from consideration.
I then came across the Rubbermaid systems on Amazon and after reading the many positive reviews I took the plunge & ordered (2) 4-8 ft. & (2) 3-6 ft. Deluxe Custom Closet Kits to improve our small MB walk-in & my 12yr.'s 6ft. closet.
It took longer than 1 hr., but much less than 12 hrs (you will spent a great deal time measuring, climbing up & down the ladder, switching drill bits for screw tips, etc...), unlike several of the earlier reviews I had read. It took about 6hrs. total this past Friday to install (2) of the 3-6 ft. & (1) 4-8 ft. kits in our approx. 6' x 6' walk-in. The 1st kit took the longest. Once I understood how the first kit worked, I really cranked after that. A few crucial points:
1) Make sure you have a level (I found a 2ft. one worked great!), a good cordless drill with 2 fully charged batteries (if your screws hit studs, which is what you want, it will take a lot of juice)with good phillips screw tips and a sturdy 6' step ladder.
2) Get a 3/8" drill bit....most households typically won't have one larger
than 1/4"...this is the hole size for the sheet rock anchors. I didn't have one either so I had to go get one after opening the box! this is the only thing I had to buy, aside from the extra 25" vertical ext. bars & extra shelves. Rubbermaid also provided more sheet rock anchors than I needed (that's a first!). So unless you have a cinderblock or stainless steel wall in your closet, all the req. parts come in the kits.
3) MAKE SURE THE HORIZONTAL MOUNTING BARS ARE MOUNTED STRAIGHT & LEVEL (first thing that goes up)OR YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT! USE THE LEVEL CONSTANTLY ON ALL THE HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL BARS!. After that, the brackets, shelves & hanging rods just pop in based on your configuration.
4) Buy extra 25" ext. bars, each kit only comes with (2) per kit. You will need the extras if you want to max. use on the kits.
All in all we rate this an excellent product. Quality was excellent (all the parts fit!). Instructions & assembly was clear & easy to follow and was actually fun once you got the hang of it. The Amazon pricing & free delivery made it a clear choice above competitors like Closet Maid & Elfa (The Container Store). And most of all it looks great (metallic/pewter coated finish) & works well. We figured it will take us an hour or so to install the last kit in my daughter's closet. We will definitely use their kits again.
Thanx Rubbermaid & Amazon for "PIMPIN OUR CLOSET"!!
Customer Review: Great closet organizer!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is super sturdy and well thought-out in it's components and design. Setup was clear and easy, parts are strong and fit well together. We love the adjustability and the look, and it sure created a lot more useable space in a very small closet. Great product - would highly recommend.
