Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 3H89 Configurations 4 to 8 Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit, Titanium
Customer Review: Decent for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this assuming it would create more space in my standard walk in closet, plus I like the more organized look it presented. After taking down my old shelving with hang rod, filling the holes and painting the area, my husband and I began to hang this system. It took longer than other reviewers stated. We ran into some metal brackets on the studs and had to get some different hardware. The kit also did not include enough wall anchors for space without studs (adding a trip to the store). I did not consider that I already had been using the space saver hangers where you can hang 5 shirts or pants vertically, so when I took everything down and re-hung it all on regular hangers, I did not get any extra space. Either way, it looks nice. The draw back though, is that the extra pieces like shoe shelves, drawers, pant racks, etc...are really expensive and can add up to the same cost as having someone else custom your closet. Also, it leaves "lines" on your folded clothing unless you line the shelves with something. Customer Review: Good buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Turned out to be much easier to install than the reviews here indicated. I am so happy with the shelving options!
As a warning, the titanium color is industrial-looking. Perfect for my hall closet, but I would have been disappointed if I had put these in a bedroom.
The only problem you may encounter is that the rods are cut to fit the 8 foot designs. If you have a hanging section that is between 2-4 feet (very likely if you have a 4-7 foot closet), you may need a hacksaw to cut the poles to length.
Customer Review: Love this closet system
Summary: 5 Stars
We had purchased this closet system for our master bedroom closets several years ago and have been very happy with them. They are simple to install and unlike some other closet systems, can be easily reconfigured. I also love how how the bar supports are designed so that the hangers can slide all the way across the bar. When we decided to finally do the other bedrooms, we were thrilled to see that Amazon was selling them for half of what we had paid previously at our local big name hardware store.Customer Review: Rubbermaid vs Closetmaid vs Elfa
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used all three of these. I first bought the Elfa (Container Sore) 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.
