Pleasantly Surprised
I was impressed with how solid this shelf unit turned out to be. It's definitely sturdier than I expected. It's not completely rigid, but it's stable enough to hold clothes without any issues. A couple of tips for assembly: using a rubber mallet helps to get all the pieces to fit together correctly. While I doubt it can actually hold 130kg, it doesn't seem to have trouble with around 5kg per shelf and about 10kg on the bars. I'd recommend being cautious with the top shelf since it's the least stable. Also, a little more length and depth would have been nice, maybe the folks at Hawkins Woodshop could offer some extension packs for extra columns.

I’m a renter, and after my closet fell down since there were no anchors, this was the perfect quick fix. The package arrived in great shape and once I checked that all the parts were included, I started putting it together. I’m pretty good with this kind of stuff and didn’t need the instructions. I figured most things out just by looking at the diagram. Being only 5 feet tall and not strong, I managed with just my rubber mallet and a tall step stool. I got the larger size for my walk-in closet and I recommend assembling it inside the space. Just be sure to measure before you buy—I did and it fit perfectly. A couple of tips: there were moments I had to push to get the metal bars into the holes, so I turned the structure sideways to hammer in the pieces. If you’re putting the poles into the holes, having someone hold the other side can be helpful. Also, if you're tall and have longer clothes, keep in mind this may not suit you as it’s more suited to smaller sizes. It’s sturdy enough for lighter clothes, but I wouldn’t put anything heavy on it. The structure is made of light metal with medium-duty plastic stabilizers, plus there are plastic sleeves for any shelving you want to add. Just remember, you'll need bins for a flat surface. I feel like I could knock it over with one kick, but it works for me! 😆

A bit tricky to assemble
I had my dad put this together back when I was in 6th grade, and now that I'm heading into 8th, it's still serving me well. It can be a bit wobbly if you shake it, and while it's fragile in a way, it goes back together easily if it falls apart. My dad had some trouble figuring out how to attach the cloth cover, but it's still working fine for me. Just a heads up, if you're looking for something more stylish, this might not be the best choice.

Great Addition for My Daughter's Room!
We got this portable closet to help organize my daughter's room, and it turned out to be just what we needed! It's sturdy, has plenty of space, and can hold a lot of clothes. The hanging rods are tough enough for heavier items like jackets, and the shelves work well for folded clothes, bins, or shoes. Putting it together was easy, and it feels solid once built. The sleek black look is also nice and tidy in her room. This was an excellent and budget-friendly option for a closet upgrade — I highly recommend it if you’re looking for extra storage!

Great Design, Super Easy to Assemble
I got this rack to display my band shirts, and it can hold way more than my last one. Right now, I have 71 shirts on it, and there's still plenty of room for another 50 or so. The shelves are handy for hats, shoes, and even laundry baskets. I love that the top is covered, which means I can use it for storage too, especially since I'm tall. It's a perfect size and fits my space well. It came with wall anchors, but I didn't feel I needed them. I tested it a few times by tipping it, and it stood strong. Pretty impressive for something so lightweight and slim.

Gets the job done, but could use some extra support
Honestly, it's not the most attractive piece, but it does what I need it to do. Assembly was pretty straightforward, but I found it a bit shaky. I ended up using command hooks to secure the poles to the wall at an angle, and that seems to have worked well. It's holding a decent amount of weight, though I haven't tested it to the max. For the price, it offers plenty of storage, and it feels stable enough. I wouldn't want it to be a permanent part of my setup, but since I'm just here for a year or two, it fits perfectly.

Great quality for the price
I was pleasantly surprised by how well-made this shelf unit is. It's definitely sturdier than I expected. While it's not completely rigid, it feels stable enough to hold clothes without any issues. A couple of tips: use a rubber mallet to fit the pieces together properly, and I wouldn't push the limits on weight—maybe not ideal for 130kg total, but I found each shelf can easily manage about 5kg and the bars around 10kg. Just be cautious with the top shelf since it seems to be the least stable. It might be nice if they offered add-on packs to extend the length and depth of the unit.

Good Solution for Small Spaces
I recently had an issue with my closet falling down because there were no anchors, so I needed a quick fix. The shipment from Hawkins Woodshop arrived in solid condition, and after checking that all the parts were included, I got to work on assembling it. Since I have a decent amount of technical skills, I didn’t even really need the instructions; I can usually figure things out from a diagram. I'm on the petite side at 5 feet tall and not strong, so I just used my own tools, mainly a rubber mallet and a tall step stool, to put it together. It took me about 30 minutes. I opted for the larger size since I have a walk-in closet, and I’d suggest assembling it inside the closet if possible. Make sure to measure before buying; I did, and it fit perfectly! Just a tip: there were times I had to hammer down to get the metal bars into the right spots, and I found it easier to turn the structure on its side while I worked. If you're taller and have long clothes, this might not be the best option, as the sizing is more compact. It does hold clothes well for smaller sizes, but I wouldn’t put anything too heavy on it. The whole thing is made of lightweight metal poles with plastic stabilizers, and you’ll want storage bins on top of it for anything flat. Overall, it’s a decent solution!

Better than expected
I ordered this closet organizer for a basement closet (cement wall & open ceiling). I wasn't sure what to expect, but this exceeded all my expectations. After confirming all parts were in the box, I opened the directions and got to work. It was easy to put together and didn't take more than 45 minutes or so. The only additional tool I chose to use was a hammer. It fits perfectly in the closet and seems sturdy enough to hold all I need it for. I would definitely recommend.

Nice Design, easy to put together
I got this to hang up all of my band shirts. It holds way more shirts than my previous rack. I have 71 shirts on there right now and there's easily room for another 50 or more. The built in shelves are good for hats, shoes, and even laundry baskets. I like that the top is covered so if you're tall like me you can also use the top for storage as well. It's a good size and fit into my space nicely. The rack came with wall anchors but I didn't find them necessary. I did several tip tests and it stayed standing strong. Impressive for how lightweight and slim it is.
