Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 3H89 Configurations 4 to 8 Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit, Titanium
Customer Review: My closet is cleaner! Thanks Rubbermaid!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
There's less anxiety in my life since I installed the Rubbermaid Configurations Closet Kit. I had looked around at other solutions and really liked the elfa product at the Container Store but this was easier on my wallet and delivered exactly what I needed.Customer Review: Closet Clutter Solution
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the 4'-8' organizer, installation was pretty easy, the demo of the old closet and painting was less than fun though.
My Suggestions:
*Have a good working stud sensor
*A laser line level would speed the process up a bit too.
Suggested Modifications:
* Instructions say to install tracks 86.5" above floor, after my full install I may suggest others to install at 81.5" that way you can have one shelf on top and hang clothes from and another shelf on bottom without needing extra extensions.
* Also, my closet measured about 5' X 5' instead of buying 2 of the 3-6' organizer sets, I accidentally bought 1 of the 4-8' sets. I installed one track on the left wall and the other on the far back wall. You're supposed to actually overlap the the tracks but this modification proved to be very practical and actually saved me $.
Customer Review: head rail could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
I installed the first closet with the parts from Home Depot. Figure to save a bit of money with the complete set and get this one. They are almost the same configuration.
1. The head rail from Home Depot are much stronger and thicker. I was able to get a single rail rather than than two separate pieces as with Rubbermaid. I am not sure the rubbermaid can handle more weight and I am a bit affraid to stack more stuffs on the top as one of the rail lightly bended when it arrived. The packing could be better as two smaller shelves were also bended.
2. They are both installed almost the same way. However, I probably will be back to Home Depot for the other two closets. I don't use all the parts from rubbermaid so the saving did not really help. I will use the spare parts for the other two closets since the rack use the same hooks.
Customer Review: Would Buy Another!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say Rubbermaid has it going on! I had 2 Rubbermaid organizers and one Closetmaid organizer installed in my 16' closet, and Rubbermaid is the best, hands down!
I did not put these up my self, but my friend who did it said it wasn't bad at all. He did purchase different and more "heavy-duty" anchors and did not use the ones that were provided in the box since I have so much stuff to hide in the closet. I will estimate that both Rubbermaid organizers took him about 3 hours to put up. (That's with breaks.)
I've already changed some of the shelving, and it is easy with the unlock/locking system.
I couldn't find a better price than Amazon and the Super Saver Shipping makes it all worth it.
I recommend Rubbermaid for your closet organization needs!
Customer Review: Organized, but no space savings
Summary: 3 Stars
I had two of these in boxes for nine months before I finally got around to putting them up. Installation was fairly easy; I have average handy-person skills and installed two all by myself in two six-hour blocks, with many interruptions. I put in a lot more screws than the directions tell you to, just for added support.
This replaced a traditional long, shallow folding-door beam-and-shelf closet setup with several small chests of drawers and shoe racks on the floor.
The good - things appear much tidier. Clothes are more accessible. I think the tidy appearance will help whenever we sell our house.
The bad - as another reviewer stated, I really don't think I gained much space. I was able to put a few purses I had in a different closet on the top shelf of the new closet, but that's about it. I had visions of getting all my husband's suit jackets in (8 or so)- no way. I still need my old shoe rack on the floor. They seem to give you too many shelves and bars, and not enough supports - I had to spend another $20 to get more vertical supports, and could use even more. The shelves would be better if they were two inches deeper, although they work fine as is.
In summary, I feel this is a great organizational tool, but not much of a space saver if you are starting with a long shallow closet.
