Whitmor Over the Door Fold Up Shoe Rack

I purchased the product after reading the previous reviews and viewing the pictures left along with the reviews. I also measured the product and my closet to make sure it would fit. Somw other reviewers mentioned having to remove the inside closet door knob for the product to fit, which is what I would have needed to do IF the dimensions of the product were accurate (which they are not). The over-the-door-hanger adds extra space requirements that I did not have in the closet I wanted to use. Luckily it did work with a different closet. The assembly of the product was fairly easy. I'm 9+ months pregnant and was able to put the product together without any assistance. The directions instruct you to put together an entire side before installing the rods, but I think it may have been easier to install in 3 sections prior to snapping the sections together. The most difficult part was snapping the vertical sections togeher because the plastic snaps are not identical in size, which I can't be too disappointed about since the product was not expensive. The packaging also included velcro peel-and-stick dots to attach to the 2 lowers sections to the closet that I could not use due to the recessed sections of the closet door and the product placement in the closet. I was unable to fit 36 pairs of shoes, but thanks to the other reviews, I didn’t expect to fit that many. The product currently holds 28 pairs of shoes belonging to me and my husband. Unfortunately we may have been able to fit more if the rungs started lower. My 5 inch heels fit fine, but not my 4 inch booties or my 5 inch wedges. Those shoes were placed on the second rung, making the top rung unusable. I was also unable to place my boots (flat or heeled) on a rung without being unable to use another rung, so I laid them on their side with flat flip flops taking up the other portion of the rung. This also had to be done with my husband's military-style boots. If not, the flip flops would not have fit anywhere and we would have had to store some of our shoes elsewhere. I was able to use 8 rungs for my shoes and 3 rungs for my husband's shoes. As I mentioned previously, the top rung was unable to be used due to the height of my wedges and booties. I was able to fit 3 pairs of heels across each rung for my shoes. His size 11 sneakers would only allow 2 pairs on each rung. Again, I optimized space by laying his boots sideways and filling the remaining space with his flip-flops. His dress shoes are quite heavy, and after several minutes of being on the rung, the rod popped out of place and the shoes fell on the floor. When I assembled the product, there wasn’t any way to tell if the rod was in place securely. I recommend putting heavier shoes on the bottom in case the rod becomes dislodged, so you will only have to put a few pairs of shoes back in place. A different review indicated the man's shoes fell from several rungs, which I'm assuming was from a similar problem. Overall, I recommend the product. UPDATE: My husband opened the closet door and 2/3 of the shoes fell off the rack. This had happened repeatedly.
