Rubbermaid Configurations Custom Closet Kit 6-10 Ft. Adjustable Metal Wire Shelving White Finish Expandable Organization System Hardware Included for Home Closet/Pantry/Laundry/Mudroom

The 6-10 feet is amazing. Our closet is only 6.5x6.5 so I was able to use the spare to upgrade our laundry area as well. Look sturdy enough. I don't know how heavy the rods and screw can take, but so far it's good with carrying about 80 lbs of jackets and pants.

I have Elfa in every closet but my own. I still prefer Elfa. When you finish installing Elfa, you think "Wow, this looks great! I can do so much!" When I finished with this, I said "OK, this will work..." Elfa would have been three times what I paid for this set (the white fluctuated WAY down when I pulled the trigger). And inflation been inflatin’... I went with this.This is the no-cut telescoping set. It goes from about 48.5" to 8' In order to telescope, one shelf has to be larger than the other. So, one shelf is 12" deep and the other a little under. If you're using the shelving for something different and need perfectly matching shelves, this isn't the set for you. This set's strength is it's weakness (for me). The double layer of shelving looks weird. Luckily, my installation required no overlapping shelving.My closet is EXACTLY 4' wide. The shelves are overcut by about a half inch. This wasn't a no-cut system for my installation; I had to cut one rung off each shelf. I used a Dremel.The instructions said hang the horizontal Hang Rail at 86.5". I rounded up to 87" because I have suit jackets and cascading pant hangers and wanted to make sure they cleared the shelf and floor. If you're shorter (or don't care about your clothes resting on stuff, you can go lower. My ceilings are kind of high; I can imagine standard 8' ceilings would look weird with the system starting so close to the ceiling. At 87", the pants hanger can hang on either level. Added a pic of that. The height also makes that shelf slightly usable (without the pant hanger, shorter things 4-5" high)The anchors are fine. I've used this style on other projects. You just fold the wings back towards you tamp it in using the anchor pin and insert the screw. They are for new construction. Half inch drywall, no skim coats. I'm working with 100 year old plaster so I went with metal toggle bolts. If you have a newer house, you may be fine. Get some toggle bolts if you think you have thicker drywall, plaster, or or a skim coat.I have a lot of leftover Elfa odds and ins. A couple of them actually work with this set (a literal couple, 2. And one only on the deeper shelf). The systems are not interchangeable.The hierarchy for these track systems is def Elfa>Rubbermaid>Closetmaid. The fit and finish of this system, for someone who's as picky as me, leaves a little to be desired. The shelf brackets are poorly painted. It would be one thing if they were mostly hidden but I'm looking at gray primer or base metal as soon as I open my closet door. The rod holders are plasticky. The end caps are plasticky, and big, and don't match (that telescoping strength being a weakness again) My eye would go to the mismatched end caps every day. Luckily I didn't need to use them either.Over all, I'm happy with the system. If you've never used Elfa, you'll be ecstatic. You get all the functionality of the higher priced system for much less. You can easily double your closet space. Installation was a breeze (minus cutting that one rung off, and that wasn't difficult. I'd use a hacksaw if I didn't have a Dremel)Edit: When its jammed packed with clothes you don't see the poorly painted brackets

Bought 2 of these, easy to install and help organize for a closet.

Love these closet systems.I have a very old house and I have to get creative sometimes. I have redone two of our closet’s. Added another to my craft room.Just a heads up, love how easy the rubber maid is to use and setup.You can also get the closet maid stuff from Home Depot it’s pretty close. It works with what I have. I have a lot more pieces that I can use to put in the laundry or another place.Just not enough and I don’t want to get another package.I just wanted to save someone else a day of running around and trying to figure out if it would work. 😊

Looks nice but some parts came bent and drywall anchors do not stay in the wall. Also did not have enough screws. Functional overall.

There is not a lot of storage space in my house. All the closets had the standard 1 rod for clothes and the rod to low to the ground. I'm small (only 5 feet tall) and my long dresses would hang on the ground.I ordered this Rubbermaid system after reading the reviews, seeing the price, and wanting to see the differences between Rubbermaid and ClosetMaid. I installed a ClosetMaid shelving system a few months back for extra storage in my office.The two companies make extremely similar products. I could probably mix up most of the parts from the two companies and not be able to tell who made what. They are both made out of strong material, look nice once installed and can hold a lot of weight.Installation took about 2 1/2 hours for me to do alone with either brand. It was difficult for me to put the top shelf track up alone because you need to install it around 7feet high up on the wall, level, then fit screws through the track and into the wall. If there are studs in the wall where you want the screws you can drill thought the track but if there are no studs you need wall anchors. With both systems the anchors need to line up exactly with the holes in the track. This was not the easiest thing to do alone so get a friend to hold the track level while you mark the wall for the studs. If you do it alone like I did just double or triple check your makings before you drill and you won't make any mistakes. The track took about 1 hour to put up alone because it is hard to hold something level so high up and make the accurate measurements needed but if you have help it should maybe take 15 minutes. The rest of installation was fast and easy.****When you do installation, get more anchors for the walls than what is provided with the kit unless you have a lot of studs in your wall. Anchors will help keep the system secure and keep it from falling down. My closet only had 2 studs I could use and the kit had only 9 anchors. Anchors are inexpensive! I got a pack for under $10 and used 6 more for a total of 12 anchors. Each anchor can support 50lbs so I never need to worry about the system falling down. This can be a worry because clothes are very heavy! The fewer studs you have use more anchors.So why do I like the Rubbermaid system over the ClosetMaid?1) Rubbermaid kit was $65 on amazon, ClosetMaid was over $100 at my local hardware store but they had no kits. They have the same number of shelves, same storage.2) When making my office closet I knew the width I wanted my shelves so they would fit all the way across the back wall of my closet was 55". At the store ClosetMaid had 4 choices on size 36", 48", 72", and 96". I had 2 choices, I could get the 48" and have a 7" gap or I could get the 72" and cut it down to the size I wanted. I decided to cut the 72". I had the same problem with the shelf track so I once again had to get the longer piece. I tried to have the hardware store cut it, but because the shelf was metal and wide they would not do it. I had to buy a hand saw and cut it at home it took 20-30 to cut everything the sizes I wanted.Rubbermaid has an overlapping designed for both the track and shelves. No cutting was needed and it was the perfect size I wanted.RATINGS:ClosetMaid **** no adjustments on shelve width and the higher price tag but nice system. Doubled my closet!!Rubbermaid ***** adjustable, easy, good looking, no complaints. Doubled my closet!!If you have a closet width of 36", 48", 72", and 96", or something close then ClosetMaid is a good buy but I was not able to find another system that was as nice and inexpensive as Rubbermaid. Believe me I looked!

instructions were lacking but easily figured out through the pictures. built one 2-4' and another in the 3-6' size for my walk in. took maybe 2-3 hours. only complaint is that two of the bar holders werent snug and didnt fit properly to the point of just falling off lucky enough i didnt use all of the provided ones between both sets and had extras.just installed so cant speak for sturdiness just yet but seems solid
