Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 3J05 Configurations Sliding Wire Basket, Titanium

Customer Review: Better than the shelves
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this basket to hold socks, etc. It was very easy to install and very practical.
I am planning to replace several other shelves that were holding sweaters with these baskets.

Customer Review: Configurations Sliding Wire Basket
Summary: 5 Stars

This basket works well with the shoe basket and helps organize other items in the garage. Good quality.

Customer Review: Everything I expected and more
Summary: 5 Stars

The rubbermaid wire basket system works great!! I bought two (I all ready had 2)and use them in my scrapbook closet to store supplies. They are easy to put together and the baskets glide in and out smoothly.

Customer Review: Good little basket!
Summary: 4 Stars

Smooth slides, great for socks or other items that can't fall through the holes. Easy to grab and nice to look at.

Customer Review: Great Basket - but awfully pricey
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a great basket that holds a lot and is extremely sturdy. The glide is as smooth as could be wished for -- far nicer than I expected from a do-it-yourself closet-in-a-box system.

I agree with other reviewers that this piece is tricky to install. The rest of the Rubbermaid Configurations family of products is super-easy to install, which makes the complexity and difficulty of installing this one item a bit surprising.

Also surprising (as another reviewer noted) is the price. I purchased 2 full closet kits for 49.99 each (Gold Box special). Paying the same price for one drawer that you pay for the entire closet unit does indeed seem ridiculous.

As a sturdy, well-built drawer, this item shouldn't necessarily be cheap. But the price is too high relative to the overall cost of the closet. $100 for a couple drawers is going to match or exceed the price of just about any closet kit you can buy here on Amazon -- that just doesn't add up, so to speak.

One final note: There is another drawer you can get for the Configurations system. It's a soft-sided "canvas sliding basket" that costs far less ($15-20 for the medium or $25-30 for the large). It's far less sturdy and doesn't glide nicely at all. It may do for less regular use, such as a winter storage closet, attic, basement, or other such storage area. But for everyday use (e.g., bedroom or bathroom closet), the wire basket is the way to go. It will stand up to repeated regular use.
