After 6 years, it's excellent wall mounted with minor modification (and fixes)
by Chuckle (5 out of 5 stars)
April 1, 2018

I bought this 6 years ago, and it's held up admirably well. It's still going strong. I think this is a much better product wall mounted. Rather than whip this around every time you open and close a door, if you're a bit handy, keep it secured safely to a wall. I imagine it's less prone to breaking, and in my opinion is more aesthetically pleasing.

To wall mount what I did was straighten the metal brackets (probably with a couple locking wrenches, e.g. vice grips). Next I drilled two holes in each bracket (see pics). I wanted this flush against the wall, but just above the base moulding (you might opt to go higher). Attach your drilled brackets to the shoe rack and rest the (empty) rack on the moulding. With a pencil mark where the holes are on your wall. Now add wall anchors there. Attach your brackets. The shoe rack can now slide onto the mounted brackets.

The one minor negative is that this is a plastic product which can break, particularly the shelf joints if it's placed under heavy load (e.g. you pull out your shoes very quickly and they catch on one shelf). If you do snap one of these joints, you can repair this yourself. Find a bolt whose shank is a similar thickness as the broken axis of the joint. Then secure the shelf to the rack, where it had been with tape. Drill through both pieces, centered through the old joint axis with a bit that matches the bolt shank (slightly smaller than threads). Screw the bolt in. This will both reattach the shelf as well as restore the joint's rotating ability. (See photo)

So far so good ~ this rack solved my shoe dilema!
by Sister Cyote (5 out of 5 stars)
July 6, 2016

Before buying I read pages of reviews for this shoe rack. Here are some points & tips that helped me: measure twice, make sure your door is wide enough, make sure your door is the right size to fit the over-the-door brackets, if your door is too thick, contact the company for different brackets (people say the company is very helpful), use a hammer or soft mallet to put poles in place (I used a hammer and it was perfect - lightly tapped both metal and plastic pieces without any damage).

As you can see in the photos the door does loose some clearance but in my case not so much that entering the closet is impossible or too limiting.

Also, my shoes are women's size 8. Sneakers, hiking shoes and Chucks don't fit three across completely flush. So anything bigger than size 8 would need to be tilted or otherwise placed differently. Wedge heels are a tight fit but doable, high heels fit just fine. Some people have complained that the rack falls apart but if you tap pieces in place solidly, it should solve that problem. I have just put it together this afternoon, so if I experience any problems I will come back and edit my review.

Warning: Only on a larger than 24" wide door!
by J. Rich (4 out of 5 stars)
March 4, 2015

I like the rack. HOWEVER. I am a 'guy', so my larger shoes will have to be placed at an angle on each shelf, and as a result, two pairs fit on each shelf. In other words it will hold 24 pair of mens shoes. I don't have that many, anyway, but just a warning.

ALSO, there is NO indication that there is an issue of how wide the closet doors should be. I have two 24" doors on a wide closet. It fits on the door, alright, but the inside door knob has to be removed. EVEN THEN, the door won't shut without each 'shelf' dragging the door facing as it was trying to close! I was able to cut at least 1/2-5/8" off the 'hinge side' metal hanger, and now it BARELY will shut (with, at times, a shelf STILL dragging, lightly, the door facing). I wanted the shoe rack, and was contemplating cutting an inch off each of the 24 rods(yuk!), just to make it work. I may still have to if it starts marking the door facing.

Some Improvising Required
by Movie Maker (Wash, DC) (4 out of 5 stars)
January 27, 2013

This shoe rack was too big and cumbersome for my small closet door (it shifted every time the door was opened or closed). So I had to install it on an inside wall of the closet. I did not use the two metal support brackets, but instead drilled holes into the top side supports and attached the rack to the wall with screws. Works great. See photo.

Simple Assembly; Door Knob Challenge
by Eli Ward (4 out of 5 stars)
September 16, 2017

Assembly was simple. All I did was snap together three molded plastic pieces to form a vertical column on each side; push the horizontal metal rods into cylindrical "pockets" along the vertical columns; and slide each vertical column onto a metal over- the-door hook. Then, once the rack was in place on the door I added the adhesive Velcro tabs at the two points on each vertical column where they're intended to go.

I didn't need a hammer or mallet to get the metal rods to fit into their pockets; I could just push them into place with my hands (and I'm a woman of average size and strength, not a Hulk). Furthermore, the connection points between the three plastic pieces of each column were curved to prevent backwards or improper connection. It was well-designed and about as foolproof as a product can be.

I've been using my shoe rack multiple times daily for the last three weeks, and it has not come apart. The assembly holds up to the door's frequent opening and closing. If I swing the door with unusual force, the bottom-most Velcro tabs on the outer column separate, but that's all. The uppermost Velcro tabs on the right and left columns no longer touch one another at all due, I think, to the weight of the shoes pulling outward on the shelf and making it bow slightly. This does not affect functionality.

My only challenge with this product was getting it to fit on my narrow (27-5/8") door with my door handle in the way! My door handle was the kind made for small children or arthritics: it's not a knob that requires a strong grip to turn it but rather a lever that you just push down on. It took up 6-7/8" of my door's width. I ended up just buying a cheap door knob that only took up 3-1/2" of my door's width and installing it in place of the handle. That worked and was much easier, cheaper, and less wasteful of shoe-hanging space than buying a pipe-cutter and cutting down the metal rods, which I've seen other customers mention and which I considered.

Not great for all doors
by Paul (3 out of 5 stars)
September 2, 2018

Bought this to replace one of those behind the door plastic shoe holders. Those work well for awhile but eventually the plastic will break as shoes go in and out constantly. Saw this on Amazon and thought perfect and durable, which it seems to be. Made of metal and hard plastic with shelves that move up when not in use, and down when putting shoes in. Each rack can be moved independently which is nice. Easy to put together, 8 to 10 minutes just because you snap multiple parts together but very easy. Seems like it will hold up very well.

So my only gripe and to me it is significant, is it will not close when behind my closet door because the rails when extended hit the frame when trying to close the door. So even though the width is proper and hangs on my door just fine, closing my door isnt possible. Now maybe my entry closet has a smaller width than other doors. If it does it cant be by too much as it looks ordinary in size. But be careful if your plan is to hang on the inside of a door like a closet that opens outward. Many doors open to the inside like a bedroom which would be fine, but entry closets open outward. Hanging on the outside wouldn't be a problem at all but I dont want my shoe rack out in the open when people walk into my house. I'd like it hidden inside the closet.

So I ended up hanging this on my garage entry door that leads from garage to utility room. No problems there and I do enter my home from the garage quite often. So while not ideal, problem solved. Really is made well. Just be careful to have enough door width to be able to close the door.

Great rack
by Mike (5 out of 5 stars)
February 12, 2019

My friend recommended me to buy this shoe rack. She and her husband use this rack for more than 4 years and didn't have issues. They moved from one apartment to another 3 times, folded this rack and assembled it in a new place and the rack didn't break. She has lots of shoes with high hills (about 4.7inches) and they stand on the rack pretty good.

We are using our rack for 10 months. The assembly was simple and we love it.

I have a small shoe size but my husband, as a guy, has pretty big shoes. So his larger shoes will have to be placed at an angle on each shelf, and as a result, two pairs fit on each shelf.

We put our rack on the door which closes our boiler, so at the top, due to its measurements, we have not much space for shoes that protrude. So we put them at a very big angle almost parallel to the door, so the door can be closed.

Some advice:
1. Measure your door. Make sure your door is wide enough.
2. Measure the door thickness. Make sure your door will fit the over-the-door brackets. We are living in a rented apartment where cheap regular doors are used. Our door is 1.3 inches thick and the brackets fit great. If your door is too thick, you may contact the company for different brackets.
3. Remember about space, which will be needed to fit the protruded shoes. Men shoes are longer and maybe you will have to put it at an angle.

my husband adjusted for 24" door
by Jenny Dunn (5 out of 5 stars)
November 6, 2016

I wanted to share this tip: My husband used a pipe cutter to cut 1 1/8 inch off each rod and now this fits perfectly on my 24" door with the door knob. It's been up for a week now and seems sturdy. I'm thankful for the organization and extra floor space!

This thing is aweful...
by Mrs. T. (1 out of 5 stars)

These work fairly well except when all of the bars come lose and the shoes come crashing to the floor in the middle of the night. I thought Jesus had returned. To me that is a problem and to me it is a big one. The manufacturer cut the bars so short that they will not stay on place...I glued the bars in place with Gorilla glue and the device works well. Seems to me saving fractions of a penny and getting a less favorable Amazon review is less than optimal. Leave a few centimeters and get higher customer satisfaction.

I bought this for my apartment in the city. LOVED it when I installed it. Had about 25 pairs of shoes on it... I have size 5 1/2 feet and they were mostly sandals etc... I came back a week later and it had snapped in half and all the shoes where on the floor. NOT HAPPY.
