Tools and Hardware Reviews of Household Essentials 01812 Six-Shelf Canvas Sweater Organizer
Customer Review: Alright....
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased these because of all the wonderful reviews it received on Amazon. While they are alright, I didn't find them all that extraordinary. I wish the "shelves" were sturdier and I wish that the velcro was wider so that it wraps tightly around the rods in my closet. Since they're not tight around the rod, they tend to swing back and forth and that bothers me. I guess I'll have to buy some velcro and adjust it myself. All in all it is a good product, it's handy and cheaper than others. I would not purchase them again though.Customer Review: So so for storage
Summary: 3 Stars
The shelves are somewhat flimsey, and can only support one or two sweaters. For the amount of space the unit takes up in the closet, you might as well just put sweaters on a shelf. The unit does what it promises though, and makes the closet look neat and organized.Customer Review: Product is fine, but shipping is not free!

This product advertised free shipping, but I got a note from the post office saying that shipping was due upon receipt.Customer Review: Product has been downgraded - picture misleading
Summary: 2 Stars
This review is to let potential buyers know that this product has changed from its original design, and yet at the time of this review neither the picture, nor the Product Features, nor the Amazon.com review have been updated to reflect the change.
I bought one of these in Dec. 2004 and it is exactly as pictured with canvas shelves. When you feel the shelves, you can tell that they have hardboard sandwiched between them making a durable surface that does not sag. I just purchased a second one and opened it today (May 2008) and while the top is still canvas-covered hardboard, the shelves are now plastic.
I came back here to see if I'd accidentally ordered a cheaper version, but the model number is the same. Whitney has indeed changed their design, and to be fair I see now that if you scroll all the way down to the Product Description under the Amazon.com review, it's been updated to "6 Shelf, Sweater Organizer With Plastic Shelves...". But keeping the original picture and Product Features, which only show and mention canvas, is highly misleading.
I tested out the plastic shelves and they do not compare to the original that I own which is still going strong (no sagging). Plus of course, it doesn't match. I will be returning this. Hope this helps others make a more informed buying decision.
Customer Review: Does not match picture, do not buy if that's what you expect
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the shoe/shelf unit that comes covered in nice canvas and I was very impressed with the design so I didn't bother to check the reviews on this companion product. New unit is terrible and can't bear more than light rags.
