Product Description
A five-tier shelf offers plenty of easy access to folded clothes, shoes, boxes, hats and more with this custom closet organizing kit from Rubbermaid. The kit includes two 48-inch hang rails for easy wall mounting. With the hang rails in place, installing the rest of the kit is a snap. The kit easily fits closets from 4 to 8 feet in length without cutting any of the materials. The shelves and hanging rods are adjustable for up to 10 feet of hang space and 22 feet of shelf space. All pieces of the kit have a long lasting epoxy, satin nickel or chrome finish and will not stain or snag. With 8 feet more shelf space than the Rubbermaid 3G5900, this is the kit for wintertime sweaters, jeans, and other foldable clothes. --Brian D. Olson

I bought this, but it sat in a box for over 4 months because I was scared of the setup. A friend finally forced me into just doing it, and it took less than an hour for the whole deal. It was so quick that I can’t believe I let it sit in a box.
A level (the tube with the bubble) proved very useful.
Anyway, it’s sturdy, set up so easily, and I love the bars that let you slide hangers all the way across.
It’s also nice looking. If you don’t need a formal look, you could isntall this directly on an exposed wall for a sort-of utilitarian look. That’s actually what I did, and as long as the clothing is neatly hung, it actually looks great.
No complaints whatsoever.

Excellent closet kit. We ordered two 4-8′ deluxe custom kits. My husband and I each have an 8′ closet. Kits were very easy to install. By the time we got to the second closet we were pretty fast. Took about 1 hour to install the second closet system. The closet design is great in that there is no cutting with the exception of the last rail cover. Love that the hangers slide easily, our previous closet “system” only allowed a couple of inches either way. The flexibility of the closet is amazing. We also ordered for my husband the shoe shelves, tie and belt organizer, and two sliding pants racks. For me I ordered three sets of shoe rods, two pants racks, and one sliding basket. We also ordered 3 upright extension rods for each closet due to the number of accessories we ordered. I had so much fun playing around with the expandable hanging rods, the shelves, and all the accessories. I now have my closet organized and I cannot believe how much room I have for everything. I even have “room to grow”. I highly recommend this closet system.

I have used all three of these. I first bought the Elfa (Container Store) for one bedroom. It was extremely expensive. Spent 5 times more than the others for something very simple. Everything is cut for you once you have the measurements. It is very sturdy and very well made, of course. It is probably over kill for a closet organizer. They have a lot of nice accessories for it and can be dressed up to look nicer than the others. Biggest negative which really surprises me since Closetmaid and Rubbermaid doesn’t have this problem is you can’t slide a hanger all the way across.
My next project was using Rubbermaid. I liked the idea it was adjustable. It was very easy to install. I bought the delux 8 feet kit. One problem is you will sometimes have left over parts and in my case I also had to buy one extra part since the way I wanted it was a little different that what options you had with their kit. After installing it I found I just didn’t need to change it, so the adjustability probaly was not a plus for me but some people may want to make changes after using it for awhile. Biggest negative which really isn’t a negative is that it is flimsy compared to the Elfa which is like a tank. That is because it is adjustable but it is sturdy enough. I have no problems with that. Another possible negative is it only comes with 12 inch shelves for closets. If you really need something bigger you can go into their garage sections which has 16 inches shelves.
My last project was Closetmaid. I used Closetmaid for my wife’s closet since she wanted 16 inch shelves and I didn’t feel it needed to be adjustable. Now if you don’t want to be doing your own cutting which can be a chore without the right tools then go with Rubbermaid. But I have the right tools so cutting was not a problem. I bought mine at Lowe’s. If you have all your measurements you can do the cutting their. They have a bolt cutter that cuts right through it. I did all my cutting at home since I have bolt cutters and metal saws. I like Closetmaid since it was sturdier than Rubbermaid and I just buy what I need. It also has a nice selection of accessories from wire drawers to shoe organizers. What I really liked is their clothes hamper. It pulls out on a slide then pushes in after you throw your dirty clothes in.
Now the surprise is the vertical hangers for all three companies all have the same slot design. How the verticals hang on the wall is differnt but once you have the vertical hangers secured you can interchange most accessories. I can install shelf supports for any company on any one of the vertical hangers. So I used the Closetmaid clothes hamper in my Rubbermaid closet. Closetmaid shelf supports and shelves will fit on the Rubbermaid or Elfa vertical hangers and vice versa.
If money is not a concern then buy the Elfa, built like a tank will last forever and looks better than the others with the righ accessories.
Rubbermaid is the least sturdy of the three but does the job. It is very easy to put up so if your not handy around the house then buy this one. You also can easily make changes to how you want the shelves organized much more so that the other two. If you want 16 inch shelves then look at their garage organizers, the system is the same.
I like Closetmaid but it does require more work to put up since you have to do all the cuttings. It is much sturdier than Rubbermaid since it is meant to be permanent once you put it in. Shelves snap in place which took some effort and would be difficult to remove. Rubbermaid has a simple slide to lock shelves in so you can makes changes easily but then again you give up some sturdiness.

I recently bought and installed the deluxe custom closet kit. It was easy to install, which was a really nice surprise. The rails that attach to the wall (from which everything hangs) are VERY sturdy. By using a rail system, the stress on the screws attaching the rail to the wall is distributed, making it very unlikely that (over)loading any part of the attachments will pull the screw from the wall (a problem I had with a cheaper closet system). You can also hang attachments anywhere on the rail – no measuring or re-drilling holes!
It took me an hour to get everything set up, except that I also spent at least a half hour figuring out which of their suggested configurations to use. Very good documentation.
In fact, I liked the Rubbermaid product so much that I also bought the similar system for garages – the FastTrack Supreme Garage Organization Kit.
Both systems, although more expensive than I’d like, are worth the money. Simple, very strong, and configurable. Add-on parts for both are easy to find at Home Depot, Lowes, and Menard’s. Highly recommended.

This is a versatile product. My husband and I installed it in under an hour and I have changed the configuration several times. It has tripled if not quadrupled the amount of storage space in my closet. It is an excellent buy for the money and I highly suggest that anyone that has trouble keeping organized or has what seems to be a small closet purchase this item….you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I were looking for an open closet and got some quotes from MDF and wood closet makers. The ones that we cared for were above $800!
This system looks OK and is easy to install. We went for the Deluxe Kit, and we got some accessories too: two wire baskets and a trouser hanger. Everything was below $500.
It took me 12 hours (not one as other lucky reviewer), but that includes removing all the clothes from the other closet, removing the other closet, going to the hardware shop to buy a 3/8″ drilling bit and anchors for masonry wall (ours is not drywall), drilling the masonry wall, installing the closet, trying different configurations, going to a Christmas Party in between, installing the accessories AND putting the clothes in the new closet.
Overall, one of the greatest gifts we bought for ourselves this christmas. I’m very happy with it. Yesterday I started rearranging it again to better optimize space.
Some words of advice:
1. The Deluxe kit we got comes with a LOT of shelves. But because we also got the accessories, we couldn’t use all the shelves. I wonder if the Classic Kit + Accessories would have suited us better.
2. We got two shoe racks as accesories to this closet system, but returned them the next day (exchanged them for a wire basket). These take up too much space of the closet because you have to put them in the rails. It’s simpler to purchase a longer shoe rack separately that you can put on the floor.
