Amazon.com Review
This handy organizer from Whitney Design keeps your closet organized while maintaining the loft and quality of your sweater collection. Crafted from durable canvas, the unit attaches to a closet rod with a wide Velcro sleeve and hangs straight down in a boxy shape. Each of the six shelves is flat and markedly sturdy, perfect for stacking sweaters. They also work well for storing jeans or stashing handbags. If you put your sweaters away for the summer, the organizer can easily be collapsed and stored as well. Constructed to fit any closet, the organizer measures 12 by 50 by 12 inches, and comes ready to hang. --Emily Bedard

Customer Reviews

Product has been downgraded - picture misleading
This review is to let potential buyers know that this product has changed from its original design, and yet at the time of this review neither the picture, nor the Product Features, nor the Amazon.com review have been updated to reflect the change.

I bought one of these in Dec. 2004 and it is exactly as pictured with canvas shelves. When you feel the shelves, you can tell that they have hardboard sandwiched between them making a durable surface that does not sag. I just purchased a second one and opened it today (May 2008) and while the top is still canvas-covered hardboard, the shelves are now plastic.

I came back here to see if I'd accidentally ordered a cheaper version, but the model number is the same. Whitney has indeed changed their design, and to be fair I see now that if you scroll all the way down to the Product Description under the Amazon.com review, it's been updated to "6 Shelf, Sweater Organizer With Plastic Shelves...". But keeping the original picture and Product Features, which only show and mention canvas, is highly misleading.

I tested out the plastic shelves and they do not compare to the original that I own which is still going strong (no sagging). Plus of course, it doesn't match. I will be returning this. Hope this helps others make a more informed buying decision.

Great for storage if your dreeser drawers are small.
This closet organizer is wonderful! It's really sturdy and attaches with strong velcro. I have a huge collection of jeans and t-shirts that are all really easy to find now. They are not strong enough to hold 6 full shelves of jeans, so I have 3 shelves of jeans on the bottom and 3 shelves of t-shirts on top. I got 2 of these becase they are really compact and about 1/4 the price of any others that I found. Plus the free shipping makes these a must have for any cluttered closet.

Sweater Shelf
I love this product in terms of its space saving value. However, I was a bit disappointed that the overall construction of the product wasn't as sturdy as I had expected. When I placed the sweaters in the various compartments, the whole frame sagged under the weight and the top of the first shelf arched out of shape. I ended up using the product for lighter items like T-shirts and scarves.
