Customer Reviews for ClosetMaid SuperSlide 72 in. W x 12 in. D White Steel Wire Closet Shelf Kit with Closet Rod

We put this unit up in our laundry room. It held for a month or so and then the other day it came crashing down and scuffed up my washer!! There wasn't anything even remotely heavy on it. I put my big bottles of soap on the floor!! It had maybe 10lbs of stuff on it!!

Disappointed, rods do not support this shelf. Let me begin by saying that I thought this was a very easy product to install. However, once you put something on the shelf or hang some clothes on the rack, you will see that the brackets are not designed to hold up the shelf. The design is horrible and the angle of the bracket doesn't support the shelf. I followed the directions and read them over and over to make sure I didn't miss anything. I even triple checked the height between where the bracket support hole is drilled compared to the back of the shelf, which is recommended to be 12" according to the manufacturer, still doesn't hold up. After watching the shelf fall 3x, I checked to see what other reviewers did to "jimmy rig" this kit. I opted to use zip ties to secure the rod to the wire shelf, I used 5 zip ties per bracket, trying to secure every possible angle where it might slip. So far, so good. With COVID-19 and being pregnant, it's not worth it to me to return this item to the store and try to find another item to replace it. I am, however, very disappointed that I purchased not one, but TWO of these for my closet and they look pretty silly with zip ties holding them up. Do not buy this product, find something that actually works without having to use zip ties!

I love this shelf! I did not realize when I ordered it that it had a rod for hanging clothes; I was going to use the shelf for storage, and then just hang my clothes (to dry after washing) on hangers from the shelf. So, I had it installed in my garage, and I realized it had a clothing rod. I am SO excited. I know it sounds like such a small thing, but it makes me happy.

I like the closet shelves. They seem to be easy enough to install. But the little heads on the nails that hold the uprights in pull through the hole. I had to buy washers to prevent the rods from falling off if you lift it on the front of the shelf.

The item is very good but I change the hardware and use screw in the expansion.

Really easy to install! And it came with everything!

It’s attractive and has great functionality. It was a little tough getting it up, especially the support beam because the instructions don’t tell you that you need to wrap one end around the wire of the shelf. I did this with pliers and ended up taking off some of the white coating

Great product you can set the shelves up in a few different ways highly recommend

In my basement I have a space that is designated a bedroom and it includes a fairly sizable walk-in closet. I needed some shelves to put in there since I was going to try living downstairs and make the whole basement my personal space. Anyhow, the price for these shelves was right and they made a great addition to the closet space. I'm used to different mounting hardware i.e. anchors, screwing things into beams, etc. Anyhow, the closet shelving is added and it seems to be holding up just fine. Next step is to add a small chair, a mirror, and shoe and pant racks. If you don't need anything fancy, or if you want to experiment with setups without investing in super expensive and permanent hardware, consider these guys. They'll definitely give you a feel for your space and provide the utility you need.

Very nice and easy to put together.

Great quick shelving if you need something in a hurry. Easy to install. However, I would use anchors for the supporting rods instead of the pins they come with. The pins wiggle out pretty easy for the support rods. I would also add an extra rod in the middle or 2 extra depending on the length of the shelf. For example, the 48” shelf comes with 2 support rods, I installed a 3rd in the middle for better weight support. On the 72” shelf I bought, it came with 3. I installed 2 extra.

Some metal bars on the shelf were bent. Still able to hang and use though.

Went up quick and easy. All hardware and installation went smoothly.

I appreciate the check out clerk that helped and gave except customer service.

After installing the dry wall anchors according to directions, the rack and rod seemed very stable. I guess I had too much on it, because the anchors ripped out of the wall, causing the whole thing to come crashing down. Don't recommend.

Product perfect! Delivery process terrible!!

Very sturdy, easy installation. Highly recommended.

Did the job and all parts in kit. No need to buy anything extra

Worked perfect good price point

Easy to assemble and works well in my closet.

Super cheap and flimsy wall anchors. Be prepared to spend extra money and time for anchors and attaching to the wall.

Nice added feature to my new laundry room and easy to install
