Freestanding Closet Organizer, 66.9 in Tall, Hanging Rod & Side Hooks

If your bedroom has a wall, a corner and no closet, this is the thing that fixes it. The frame stands on the floor. Nothing goes into the wall, so your deposit stays where it is.

Long stuff hangs on the top rod. Folded stacks and small baskets go on the shelves. Shoes get the bottom one. The hook rack on the side swings out when you need somewhere for bags and hats, and folds back in when you don't.

In the box: One flat box. Inside: the steel tubes, the plastic joints, the hanging rod, the side hook rack, three shelves and the bolts. Assembly is the usual push-the-tube-into-the-joint routine. The joints are keyed, so a piece either slides in the right way or it does not slide in at all. Two people make it faster, but one person can do it.

What actually goes on it

• Coats, dresses, shirts and trousers on the rod
• Folded stacks and shallow baskets on the two middle shelves
• Three or four pairs of shoes on the bottom shelf
• Bags, hats and scarves on the side hook rack

Sizes, in inches

Built: 66.9 in tall, 21.7 in wide, 13.8 in deep. Look at your corner before you order. You need about 22 in across and 14 in out from the wall, plus room to swing the side rack.

The box it ships in is flat and light: 20.5 x 8.7 x 2.8 in, 3.5 lb. It goes up a stairwell without a second person.

Two things to know before you buy

First, the maker does not publish a weight rating for the rod or the shelves. We are not going to invent one. Hang clothes on it. Do not treat it as a rack for heavy storage bins.

Second, this is painted steel and plastic. Not stainless, not wood. It wipes clean with a damp cloth. Keep it out of damp rooms, and off a wall that drips.

Same frame in black, white or silver. Pick the colour from the dropdown.

How to choose: Measure the corner before you order. Built 66.9 in tall, 21.7 in wide, 13.8 in deep, so you need about 22 in across and 14 in out from the wall, plus room to swing the side rack. Same frame in black, white or silver, picked from the dropdown. It ships flat and light at 20.5 x 8.7 x 2.8 in, 3.5 lb, so one person can carry it up a stairwell, and the joints are keyed, so a piece either slides in the right way or it does not slide in at all.

Best for: bedrooms, spare rooms and walk-in corners that have a wall and a corner but no built-in closet. Rentals, because the frame stands on the floor and nothing goes into the wall. Mixing three kinds of storage in one footprint: coats, dresses, shirts and trousers on the top rod, folded stacks and shallow baskets on the two middle shelves, three or four pairs of shoes on the bottom one, and bags, hats and scarves on the side hook rack that swings out when you need it.

Not ideal for: heavy storage bins. The maker does not publish a weight rating for the rod or the shelves, and we are not going to invent one. Damp rooms or a wall that drips, because this is painted steel and plastic rather than stainless or wood. Assembly is quicker with two people, though one person can do it.
