Review:“I bought this storage utility cart for my small laundry room. I measured the space and from the description and other reviews I knew how large the space would be to hold items. It’s made of plastic. It was easy to put together. It has wheels to allow for rolling movement. It’s a little wobbly but I don’t need to move it much for my needs. I may get another one. The quality of the storage unit is fantastic, even though it’s made of plastic. I highly recommend it for small spaces.” -Aml325

Review:“Works great. Happy I bought it. 6 mos later it is hanging in place, no problems.” -Eva
Review:“This rack is great for organization! I used it for my pots and pans and works great!” -Brenda
Review:“Looked for many options and decided to try this one out. This piece took about 15 minutes to assemble and it looks amazing. The dark wood compliments the white material for the shelves. Easy to put together, easy on the eye, able to fit many books and a must have. Easily accessible for my toddler to pick out her books.” -Cat
Review:“I just received this set today and love it! Took me two minutes and I have double the space in my cabinet! I only needed to use one for now but will probably use the second one for my bottles of food colorings. Very well made and the built in handle makes it really easy to take in and out of the cabinet. Don’t hesitate great products!” -Donna Combs
Review:“Okay, so I’ve had this spinach in this container for 2 1/2 weeks. What?!Now I will say that I did have to pick out some leaves that had moisture and were a little wilted, but lasting 2 1/2 weeks, when my spinach would go bad after a week in a regular container or the bag it came in? I’ll take it! I can’t really speak on fruit preservation, because we eat it so frequently. Sorry!I think the key is not washing the produce before putting them in the containers. So it’s a little inconvenient having to wash your produce every time you want fruit or greens, but the lack of moisture helps.” -LGlovesShopping
Review:“I got mine about a week ago and use it for my pants below the top of my closet and absolutely LOVE them. I’ve had to keep most of my pants besides leggings folded and in a cubbie compared to now i can fit all of my pants and skirts on the bottom without it being TOO crowded. I want to purchase more for my jeans, but saw that some of the reviews are saying that they’re not good for jeans. So I tested it with the hangers I already have and it works great! Definitely have to put them through the bottom instead the top of the jeans but it still works good and I love this product!! Saves me lots of hangers too.” -Amazon Customer
Review:Was pleasantly surprised that this actually fit allMy handbags. I had a big c shaped hook earlier for my handbags, but it wasn’t convenient. This definitely is a game changer. I don’t have many bags, 2 large ones, and a few small ones. My party clutches are in a drawer. These bags fit convenient in the cubbies and side compartments. This does not take up much space either. Very happy with the purchase" -NNRR
Review:“I rent so I have them hung with tacks. But as you can see, no issues here. Much more room in my child’s cozy corner now.” -Jeremy Adams
Review:“It is flexible enough that it fit our drawer well and helped with optimizing the space. We were only able to use one “wing” because of the drawer size. There is a little wasted space in the back that we use to store unneeded items. It looks awesome and we are very happy. It even coordinates well with other bamboo pieces like our cutting boards. The organizer has a premium look and adds to the kitchen and drawer space.” -Vincent S
Review:“I just purchased two sets and hung them in my tiled shower (note: razor hooks purchased separately). The instructions were easy to follow and I like how sturdy they feel. One thing I didn’t realize is one shelf is slightly smaller than the other in the set. But, it worked for me just the same.” -WhatCanIsay
Review:“My horse blankets, fly sheets, and coolers are sorted and put away until needed. These can be a pain to keep neat and tidy (and dust free) until it is time to use again. Great solution!” -Ag
