Whitmor Over the Door Shoe Organizer - Holds up to 36 Pairs of Shoes - Metal & Mesh - White

I bought this shoe organizer for my wife and I am very happy with it (she is too). I tried one of those organizers that is like a big sheet with a bunch of pockets on it... useless. The pockets were too small to hold 90% of the shoes she has (just one shoe per pocket), and shoes that have any kind of weight to the heel pull on the pocket and hang way out away from the door. That thing got returned.But this one I like. The "shelves" are deep enough to hold just about any kind of shoe, and the construction is sturdy enough that I feel pretty confident that it will last. The metal tube frame is very lightweight but the design is good and it seems like it will do the job long term. The hooks that go over the door are padded on the inside and the frame has plastic endcaps on the parts that touch the door, so I don't expect it to do any damage to the door.Now, as far as the assembly goes - yes, it comes with a full-size, multi-page instruction manual that is well written and has large, easy to comprehend diagrams, but the sequence of steps should be changed up to make the process much easier. The manual instructs you to assemble one vertical support and attach ALL of the horizontal rods in the first step. After having done this, you are supposed to slide the single piece mesh shelving over all of the horizontal bars. Imagine this and you'll understand. The mesh is extremely lightweight and porous, and the sleeves that fit over the horizontal rods are fairly snug. This means that you will have to slide a couple inches onto one rod, then a couple inches onto the next rod and so on. The whole time you are doing this, the mesh that you put over the first few rods is actively trying to work itself off. This is pretty frustrating and it takes a relatively long time to get all of the mesh over all of the rods.Here's my recommendation:1. Assemble the two vertical supports and hang them over the door at the proper distance apart.2. Connect the top horizontal rod to one side and slide the top sleeve of the mesh material completely onto the tube.3. Loosely connect the first rod to the other vertical support so that the mesh is trapped and can't go anywhere.4. Then slide the remaining horizontal rods into the remaining mesh sleeves and loosely connect both ends to the vertical supports.5. Repeat this until all of the rods are in place and then tighten everything up, making sure not to pinch the mesh at either end.6. Stand back and marvel at how easy that was.This is how I wish I had assembled it. Efficient. Stable. Zero frustration. Try it out and let me know.

Easily declutter your closet with this! No more shoes on the ground or in boxes everywhere. Made closet organization awesome and gave us more space. Pretty easy to set up and its very sturdy with the included screws.

If you are considering getting this product, you should totally buy it. I looked at hundreds of knock-off brands with weird names that have products like this, but the same price and crappier. This is a really high-quality product for a really great price. I would expect to see this kind of thing at a Target. Very sturdy, very well made. I also like that they have a patent on this design, because to me that shows that they are trying to provide a high-quality item, not just sell junk.That being said, here is why I give it 4 stars:1. The instructions aren’t as effective as they could be. I would suggest to the Whitmor team that they test a group of consumers and monitor them as they put the rack together. Sliding the mesh over all the poles at once just is not really feasible. You should definitely slide the mesh over the poles and THEN screw them in.Other instruction thoughts:- Assembly time: it took me 45 minutes to assemble completely.- Complicated: I was briefly overwhelmed at first with all the labels on the bags, trying to find A, B, C, and D. The first step had way too many instructions at once. I would suggest a step-by-step assembly video (QR code on the instructions).2. No-go for high tops. I assumed my boots would have to go on the top shelf, but as you can see, my Jordans (and not pictured, my heels) didn’t fit upright and were way too big for the slots. I had to stuff them sideways, which meant less room. This is partly because of the angled way you slide shoes in—it just doesn’t work for anything besides very low-topped shoes.3. Cover photo shows that you can fit 3 pairs nicely in one row. This is totally false. I wear Women’s size 8, and two pairs plus a single shoe was the most I could get in one row.Overall, really great product. Just a few pieces of feedback I would give the creators. I think they have a great thing going though, and I would recommend this product to anyone.(New product ideas for this brand:- same shelf, freestanding (not in a cart, but tall and thin)- same shelf, area with one larger gap for boots and high tops)

This over-the-door or wall-mounted shoe rack is exactly what I needed! It was super easy to assemble, and it looks great in my space. It holds my shoes neatly and saves a lot of floor space. A simple, practical solution that adds a clean, organized look to my room!

Life saver of a shoe rack. Very easy to put together and install (they do provide more tools if you want to really install rather than just slide it onto the door, but I just hooked it onto the door quick and easy). Lot's of space for shoes and keeps everything nice and neat. Only minor drawback is big/tall shoes can be difficult to fit, otherwise you're set!

There are several reasons why I would highly recommend purchasing this over the door shoe organizer. The frame is made of metal reinforced with screws therefore it is very sturdy. A previous shoe organizer I purchased was all plastic and eventually fell apart. It holds a lot of shoes. The mesh fabric makes it is easier to accommodate different styles ( booties, heels , flats). I am very satisfied with this product and would highly recommend.

This looks really nice and holds a lot of shoes. But it sticks out so far, if you put it on the back of the door, it won't open all the way.
