***Update: 9/25/2012, two years later and we're still using both closet sets every day. They still look like the day I bought them. Nothing has broken or bent.***
We are a family of 4 in a small house. We decided it was time to turn the unused downstairs space in our home, that was a den, into a large master bedroom. That way our kids who are pre-teens could have the 2 larger bedrooms upstairs and I could make the small bedroom into an office. Everything was working out perfectly until we discovered we had no where to put our clothing.
Sure there were areas down in the laundry room where we could hang things, but we needed a place to have our every day clothes. But we just didn't have the money to put hundreds or thousands of dollars into building closets or armoires. These Whitmor 6779-3044 Double Rod Closets were just what we needed.
I spent about 2 weeks looking for an inexpensive closet set that was also sturdy. I found reviews on this set on several websites and decided to go with it. It took about 30 min to put together the first one, about 15 min for the second. Even though the whole set is light weight, it is very sturdy.
For my closet rack:
I have all of my smaller tops hanging from the top bar, and my heavier sweatshirts and sweaters on the bottom. I have about 40+ women's shirts (size Med or Large) on the top bar and the bar does not appear to be under any strain at all. They range from tank tops to long sleeve shirts, and everything in between. I have about 20 women's sweatshirts and sweaters (same sizes) hanging from the bottom bar and not only does it appear sturdy, I could easily put more on it.
I chose to take all of my denim jeans and fold them and stack them on the shelves on the side. I have a good number of jeans (about 15-20 pair) and even though I could have hung them up, I needed the hanging space for my tops. I have all of these jeans on one shelf.
I also use one of the shelves for my lounge/yoga style pants. I have about 25 pairs folded into one shelf.
I used the 3rd and 4th shelf with bins in them. I keep socks in one bin and undergarments in another.
Along the top of the closet, I was able to put a ton of handbags and bulky items. Lots of storage space up there.
My husbands closet rack:
He has all of his pants on the bottom bar, all of his tops on the top bar. He also uses bins for undergarments and socks. He also keeps his law enforcement gear, uniforms, and boots along the top shelves and he still has tons of space left to use.
So to wrap this up:
You can fit so much more on/in the closet then you could believe. The metal is lightweight, yet never bends of has any problems holding the weight of clothing. We have been using them as our everyday closets for a few months now and have had no problems with any kind of tipping or instability. It does not lean in any direction, and even totally filled up, we were able to pull the closets out from the wall and get something that had fallen behind it, and nothing bent, broke, tipped or crashed. So if your looking for something of good quality with an affordable price tag that will hold everything, this is it!
I am planing on ordering another one to have a place to hang formal clothing and seasonal outerwear that doesn't get used year round as well.
