What is it? A space saving product for closets.
Rating: Works As Advertised
The closet doubler works by effectively taking advantage of “vertically” hanging your clothes in a crowded closet instead of hanging them “horizontally” across a closet rod.
The product is made of heavy plastic and two of the units come in a box, along with the associated mounting screws. Installation was extremely easy. In our case, attaching it to drywall, per the instructions, we used two of the mounting screws, which are self-tapping, and screwed down securely in just a couple of minutes.
The product’s hangers feature 18 slots each, with each slot large enough to accommodate those large plastic hangers. Presumably you could double up with thinner wire hangers, and store even more clothing on the product. The mounting screws are several inches long and pierce the wall at a very sharp angle, so it can bear quite a bit of weight.
Users will need to ensure that they put longer garments closest to the hinge and shorter garments on the end closest to the hook that hangs on the closet rod in order to ensure that clothes don’t drag the floor when the unit is hanging down.
Another functional item to note is that if the product is used to create more space, and if that freed up space is then used by other hanging garments, you won’t be able to raise and lower the product in the space now occupied by other clothes. Thankfully, the product’s hinge also swivels from side-to-side as well as up and down, so in that instance you could swing the unit forward before raising it to remove and use a garment.
This product works as advertised.
