Honey-Can-Do WRD-01271 Wardrobe, 36", White

This is the third garment rack I purchased in an attempt to find something suitable (no pun intended) to keep my work clothes in the basement. I teach college classes 2 days a week and don't need my dozens of suit jackets clogging my closet. This garment rack is perfect and is the least expensive of the three I purchased!I first purchased a rolling garment rack from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I returned it the next day after is collapsed and one of the plastic joints cracked. I then purchased another garment rack from Amazon. It had no cover and a double rod. The dimensions of this rack are terrible and both rods are not useable. I then ordered this Honey-Can-Do garment rack and could not be happier!Pros:-Strong and sturdy-Cover keeps out dust-Easy to put together-Really inexpensiveCons:-It would be nice if it was metal not plastic but the cover hides the plastic and it is sturdy.Tips:-I used a rubber mallet to assemble it and have had no problems with its stability.-It does seem that the cover could rip during assembly. But I had no problems getting it on. When assembling make sure not to pull it or try to stretch it. The key to getting the cover over the top bars is to make sure you slide up the bottom of the cover in order to give you plenty of slack to lift the cover over the top bars. Then, just slide the cover back down. Easy as can be but if you try to stretch it, it could rip.Bottom-Line:-Buy this now!

This was about the easiest thing to build so I'm not sure why some others have trouble. Here's how you do it:Build the base.Unzip the cloth cover and slip it over the 4 posts of the base.Build the top.Slip it inside the cloth cover.Lift it up and slide the top 4 posts down onto the 4 posts of the base.Done.It's fairly flimsy feeling but I suppose it would do well if you didn't hang anything heavy in it (so probably shirts, pants, low weight clothing items). I'm not sure I would hang a bunch of, say, suits in it.But I'm using mine as the base for a painting booth and, for that purpose, this thing is fantastic for my needs. I needed something which allowed light to pass through to an extent (it does so perfectly), had a generally "sturdy enough" lightweight frame (it does), and be easy to add my own mounting area for an air filter and fan (the fabric was easy to cut and easy to glue my filter holder on).I put a small cube shelf in the bottom to serve as a platform to place objects onto for painting as well as storage for my airbrush tools. It zips up neatly when I am done painting and helps keep dust off the things I'm painting while the paint dries while the air filter filters out the excess paint spray.It's a great value for the money.

Needed some extra well defined storage space and this does the job well!The whole structure is made with pipes and cloth like covering, it was strong enough to keep a suitcase and hang clothes to the brim!There could be some tearing in the corners with too much weight but it never broke down

I just received this closet a few days ago, so I'll update in a week or two with some info about how it's held up with steady weight on it.I was looking for a cheap closet that matched the decor of my room (white furniture). I'm moving at the end of the school year and didn't need anything resembling furniture, I just wanted something cheap that would hold up to a LOT of overflow clothes. I'm not talking about seasonal stuff that I would need to store and forget...I wear these clothes daily and would be going into and out of this closet frequently. This particular item caught my eye and I decided to give it a shot.I am very impressed. Assembly was very simple. I was careful to fully push the rods into the plastic base pieces so as not to have any flimsiness or bending problems. I've got about thirty tank tops and dresses in there now, and I put ten pairs of boots on the "floor" of the unit (the white fabric thing has a bottom). I've also got a bunch of hats on the top. So far, no bending or warping (beyond the normal amount of bend you'd expect from a closet rod holding clothes) and the unit doesn't complain when I open/close it or move the clothes around.The fabric covering it is definitely cheap-looking...it's a papery kind of fabric...but it doesn't look like it would tear unless you actually stuck something in it. You get what you pay for on that front. As a bonus, though, I stuck some paperclips through the fabric and am using it to hang some of my heavy/chunky necklaces. In a testament to the strength/durability of the material, the weight of the necklaces has not caused any further tearing in the fabric...the paperclip puncture holes remain small pinpoints.Overall, I would highly recommend this product if you're looking for something that will do the job for minimum cost.Edit (1/27/11): I've had this product for a month and a half now and it still seems to be holding up fine. The plastic support beams on top are bent a little from the weight of my clothes, but they don't seem on the verge of breaking and the rod still seems firmly in place. As I mentioned in my original review, I am *not* taking it easy on this thing; I'm putting stuff in and taking stuff out every day and I have 73 pieces of clothing hanging in there right now (yes, I counted, just for you). I added some new pictures to the product page so you can see the bending I'm talking about. I'm still happy with the purchase; I have a LOT of clothes in here, and since the support pieces are plastic I'm not shocked it's bending a bit. (note: the metal rod is not bent.) Overall, the closet is still working fine and I don't fear for its stability.Edit (4/28/11): Okay, it finally toppled over. I'm not exactly sure what happened; I was pulling some boots out of the bottom of the closet and it seemed like something just bent and the whole thing started tipping forward. I almost bought a different closet, but then I took all the clothes out of this one and realized that it wasn't actually broken. I still have no idea how it fell over except that perhaps there was just too much weight on it (I have a TON of clothes in there, plus boots on the bottom, plus heavy jewelry dangling on the front, plus hats on top. Since nothing was overly bent or broken, I cut up the power cord for an iron I was about to throw away and used pieces of the cord to brace the closet bars to the wall by nailing the cord into the wall with the bar braced in between. It seems to be holding steady again. I was ready to take off a star for this incident, but nothing broke and the closet is still functional. Additionally, I *KNOW* I am overusing this guy; there are almost 100 pieces of clothing hanging in there now and I reach into it more than once a day. So, still five stars considering it's so cheap and it's lasted this long.Edit (8/8/12): Every once in a while, I get a notification that someone has commented on my review for this product. These notifications make me feel like a bad adult because I am STILL using this freaking closet even though I have been telling myself that it was a temporary solution since the day I bought it almost two years ago. Erm. That said, this closet is still standing, survived a move from NYC to DC, and is holding more stuff than ever before (lots of heavy winter jackets and business suits). The plastic framing at the top is definitely bent, perhaps on the border of buckling, but I am going to continue using this little buddy until the day it disintegrates into a pile of smoking ash. (And when that day comes, I will update my review for historical purposes. And then actually buy a real wooden wardrobe.) But until then, Honey-Can-Do remains.Edit (12/12/12): It seems fitting to retire this storage closet after two solid years of service. Although its collapse seemed imminent, inevitable, it stayed together long enough that I could no longer delay replacing it with an actual wooden piece of furniture. R.I.P., Honey-Can-Do WRD-01271 36-Inch Wide Storaage Closet with Window, White, old friend. You went out on your own four feet, still standing, still holding about twenty winter coats and twenty-five blazers, still possibly hungry for more. Although your bars started to droop (see new customer images), you never wavered in your commitment to holding my embarrassing amount of outerwear. You have not been laid to rest, but rather retired. There is still life left in you, I know, but you will be spending the rest of your days elsewhere.

This rack was fairly simple to assemble and did not break per se. It was able to hold a significant amount of clothes. There was some leaning depending on the weight and distribution of the clothes. The worst part is about after two months of the clothing rack being stored (very minimal use / 1-5 times opening and closing) the paper material on both of the racks I purchases started tearing. When I touched the paper/covering material, it completely disintegrated and flaked off. Now all the clothes are exposed. Completely useless now unless you wouldnʻt need a covered wardrobe (which I doubt is the case if youʻre searching for coverage). Waste of money unfortunately but past return period despite malfunctioning product.
