ClosetMaid 5631 SuperSlide Ventilated Shelf Kit with Closet Rod, 4-Foot x 12-Inch, White

Got this for my condo laundry space which is just off the kitchen and also used as a bit of a pantry/closet. I had to use a hacksaw to cut just a bare inch off so that it would fit snugly across the length the wall, but it was fairly easy to mod and the rubber ends could be put back on so it's like it came that way. Very sturdy so far. It is in both studs and drywall anchors at various points, but it's keeping pretty equally solidly attached along the length despite holding good amount of weight.I got some cheap s-hooks which are very useful to have with it. I use the shelf for storing dry goods and supplies, and hang the small ironing board and wash bag o' wash bags on it and still have tons of room to hand clothes up to air dry.

Ordered this for my son’s closet as there wasn’t any shelving. Easy to install worked great and was easy to adjust to the size we needed.

This is a nice solid shelf and closet rod, but the ClosetMaid installation method that uses nails instead of screws for the brackets is a terrible idea. The instructions say "push the nail in with the handle of a hammer", but it would take Thor's hammer to get these nails all the way in - I'm not a small guy and had to heavily hammer directly on the nail to get it in, damaging the wall in the process. So after 1 I decided to just use my own screws and that was *much* better and quieter and safer. ClosetMaid, if you're listening please supply screws instead of these nails! Your consumers will thank you.

My husband and I recently purchased a home where none of the closets had rods installed. We were watching House Hunters on HGTV and saw these units featured in one of the homes. We liked these because we could add a shelf to our closet and a rod, much more inexpensively than custom shelving. The directions were very clear on how to install, and as long as you follow the directions I can’t see how you would have a problem. We have installed them so far into our master closet and laundry room. They have been great and we love the rod that gives the hanging clothes feature. If you’re looking for easy to install shelving and good quality, look no further!

At first, I thought this shelf with stupid and pointless the way it was designed. However, after further review of the directions for installation, I realized I missed a vital step. When installing the support brackets, you MUST install them with the two “teeth” on either side of one of the shelf wires. If you put both teeth in between the shelf wires, the brackets do not hold whatsoever, rendering the shelf utterly useless. The picture on the instructions shows this, but it is not explicitly stated in the directions. Once I realigned the support brackets, the shelf was stable and without flaw. I did order extra support brackets as well so I could make sure it could hold good weight, so I have 3 brackets supporting the shelf instead of two. I also opted to use screws in the anchors instead of those nails/pins they sent which seemed somewhat useless.

Parts were missing from the package

This is exactly what I was looking for - for our laundry closet. I just needed a shelf to house our extra items and what nots. I’d like to put our detergent on it but it does seem a bit too flimsy to hold it. I haven’t tried putting it on there but I’m worried it’ll break off the wall since I have a huge thing of laundry detergent. Hence is why I rated the sturdiness of this shelf only at 3/5. Other than that this is an affordable shelf and gets the job done.

It's great to get extra space in my closet!
