Rubbermaid has a good reputation for providing quality closet organizers and closet shelving systems. It’s not without reason, and the Rubbermaid 38HH Delux Custom Closet Kit makes good on this point. Available for under $200 (currently around $150 at Amazon.com – and it even comes with free shipping at this time of this writing!) this closet organizer provides everything you could want in a closet organizer system without the hefty price tag. (For those seeking a higher price tag, there is one thing you could want that’s not here: a nice wooden finish! But you can’t have everything for such a great price…)

Buyers report that it is comparably a breeze to assemble (although it still will take a few hours!) and one important point is that it does not involve any cutting, like some other organizers, such as the very nice John Louis Closet Shelving System we wrote about earlier. We feel that this is an important point for many people interested in getting a nice organizer for their closets who lack – how shall we say – certain mechanical skills? Yes!

You can see from the picture a good idea of what this unit offers, but don’t be fooled by the seemingly small size. Yes, this is a unit that will fit 3-to-6 foot closets  but it provides a heck of a lot of space; notably, you’ll get 10 feet of space to hang suits, dresses, shirts, and so on, and a whopping 18 feet of shelving space for folded clothes and other knicknacks. A particularly elegant use of the shelves is to allow the bottom two shelves to be used as shoe racks, as shown in the photo. This keeps your shoes easily accessible and organized, as well as off the floor of your closet. (How many shoes are somewhere in the void of your closet floor at this moment? Exactly! Wouldn’t it be nice to give a home to all your pairs of Vans Men’s Shoes? )

For the price tag, this unit delivers. Currently in the range of $175-$225, with relatively easy assembly, and again – no cutting involved, with 28 total feet (!) to organize your clothes and shoes, this is a unit you won’t be disappointed with.
