ShelfTrack Adjustable Closet Organizer Kits

We were looking for an economic way to optimize my daughter’s closet. She has the smallest room in the house which makes organizing key. Her closet is a standard 6 foot closet and we purchased the 5-8 foot system. It took us about 3 hours to get the system up with at least half of that time spent making sure that we were anchoring the main bars into studs. Once the main anchoring bars were up the rest went quickly and smoothly. We mimicked one of the 6 foot closet designs pretty much as drawn with the exception of cutting the hanging bar. We left it intact so we would have optimal hanging space. We did not need to order any extra parts and had one bracket that we didn’t use. As many others mentioned, the holes for the the screws going into drywall only definitely need to be bigger than the 3/8 in recommended. We used 1/2 in and even that was tight. So far, I would definitely recommend this system. Since we were able to tackle this project without requiring couples counseling after, we are contemplating tackling our other daughter’s closet!!

I purchased 2 of these systems for each side of our main closet. Best advice to any self installers is to ensure you get the main track mounted on studs. I drilled a couple holes to ensure the screws were in the studs. Very flexible on how you want to set it up, and fairly easy to change when/if you want to arrange it differently.

We had a tricky closet setup with two large pipes on either side of the closet and just under 6' of space in between, so we couldn't get a standard wall to wall organizer. We wanted something that would maximize the use of the wall space we did have and this really did the trick!!! We were able to utilize the whole wall and have multiple rows of shelving and closet rods - it helped us create more than enough room for storage and feels very sturdy. There are also tons of other closetmaid closet add-ons like clip on baskets that we were able to use to create even more shelving. Setup took a while but in the end it feels very sturdy so was worth it. Highly recommend.

This is my second time purchasing this system. In my experience, closet systems are unsightly and un-sturdy, pushing through the walls where the brackets are, bending, sagging, falling down completely, what have you. This system solves all of that with its clever design. The top rail is held on by attaching to as many studs as possible (my closet has 24" spaced studs so I had to drill new holes to accommodate, but it was easy enough to do), and where there aren't studs, you use toggle bolts. If you put a toggle bolt or screw in every hole on the rail (as well as any new ones you made), the attachment is very strong; just make sure you put the darn thing on the wall right-side up. You won't get your toggles back if you have to take it down to flip it over. I made that mistake the first time I installed one. Won't happen again. Also, they say to use a 3/8" bit for the toggles, but that's too small, and trying to force the toggles through that size hole will just damage the drywall and make the hole useless. I used a 1/2" bit instead, and I still had to drive them through with a few taps from a mallet, but this worked much better. Also, getting all the toggle bolts through the wall at the same time before you tighten everything down is a bit of a trick, but it's manageable. Once the top rail is up, you have some decisions to make, since the thing is completely customizable. Some of the suggested configurations require you to cut the shelves to size too, which can be done easily enough with a Dremel or a hack saw, or -easiest of all- bolt cutters if you've got them. Once you get everything laid out, you have to attach the standards to the wall, which is another bit of a chore, since you need to have them all level top to bottom, correctly spaced (which I did by installing the shelves onto them), have them stay in place while you mark out locations on the wall for fasteners. Then you have to remove the shelves, remove the standards, drill holes and install the fasteners at all the places you marked out (which it tells you to use a 1/4" bit for but that's actually a bit too large; go a size down, tap them in with a mallet, and they'll hold better), put the standards back up, screw them down, and finally re-install your shelves where you want them. Once it's all said and done, the system is very nice. The top rail being so secure holds all the standards up very well, and the standards themselves act as a buffer to hold the shelf brackets off the wall so they won't damage it. Since everything's hanging off of the top rail, if you know that's really secure, you can put a LOT of weight on the shelves without having to worry about it all coming crashing down, and honestly I think it's easier to put up than many other shelf systems out there that don't hold up as well. It is a bit cumbersome to put up, but once it's there, it's really good.

This closet system is awesome! It is super user friendly because only 2 base pieces needed to be anchored into the wall. All of the other pieces simply snap together. The instruction manual includes several different layouts for each closet size...or you can make your own. It is plenty sturdy for what I need it for. However, the shelves are wire and do not seem to be heavy duty. Also, the hooks for the hanging rods are plastic, so they won't be able to gold too much weight.

OK, so I ordered one of those full-wall murals and someone that I've loved DEARLY (my wife) for almost twenty years is... A Hater. Simple as that. A forest wall? Like yeah - 1980's Sears catalog cool. Whatevs - she also doesn't like Christmas lights under the bed or wrapped around the headboard. I'll never figure that one out either. So anyway I got this closet organizer today (Christmas break projects galore!) and put it up in a little under 2 hours start to finish (including the mural install and a razor blade in the closet with bad light). It's a really well thought out product - all hardware included for whatever your situation. The directions don't mention a level but you should have one to line everything up properly. The mural is obviously optional but this one covers up some serious holes from the crappy clothes rod contraption I took down. Now when I get dressed in the morning I can imagine I'm going to walk around that forest instead of reporting to my soulless beige cubicle and work on my carpal tunnel.

I only regret not trying these sooner! This is a great custom closet set for a decent price. It does take some time to set up properly but it saved me so much space and helps me to keep my clothes and other items organized. We brought two for a small room in my house that we converted into a closet and are pleased!

Love this product - I can fit both my summer and winter clothes all at once, which I've never had room to do before - wonderful!!!

La compre para la recámara de mi hija y me gusto, es resistente, muy práctico lo puedes configurar de varias maneras, el proceso de armado es sencillo más no rápido pero una vez que entiendes el proceso no cuesta trabajo, definitivamente seguiré comprando productos closemaid.

Muy facil de colocar, solo requieres de 8 hoyos en la para que todo se monte y se ajusta a las medidas y dimensiones que necesites, pienso comprar otro.

This is the second one I have purchased. Good product and well made. Yes you do need a couple of tools, hacksaw is handy if you need to make it fit a smaller space. Recommended.

I was looking for a somewhat cheap and easy closet installation for a baby’s nursery. We are not “handy” people. Between counting, measuring, complaining, YouTubing how things work and actually doing it, it took us about 4 hours. I saw a lot of reviews of people frustrated because of the bolt toggle for the hang bar. I had to YouTube how to use a bolt toggle and it made all the difference. If you don’t know how, YouTube it. It will make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful installation. It will also save you a headache. The other thing to consider is that you are making half inch holes in the wall to fit the toggle. This is only a problem for the slat bars going down the wall because they can’t really be sealed. If you have an older home and your drywall has asbestos, you would be exposing yourself to the harmful poison. Make sure you read the instructions as there are different designs and different instructions based on the type of wall you are fixing it too. Lastly, I would remind you of the age old saying, “Measure twice, cut once or measure once and cut twice.”
