Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid FG3H8900TITNM Configurations 4- to 8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit, Titanium
Customer Review: Terrific engineering and ease of assembly
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent concept flawlessly executed. During assembly I found myself saying, "What a great job of engineering" over and over again and pieces expanded or overlapped so cutting was not required to fit to space.Customer Review: Easy, Solid, Flexible - exactly what I wanted
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Superb and elegant solution
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Amazingly easy to install!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Finally, I have enough space in my closet!

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.
