(unpaid and not compensated for the evaluation, bought entirely by myself, no discounts) 3 months have passed since my son went to the 7th grade. The Five Star hanging shelf still looks like new. It's the perfect size and shape to store books/notebooks without taking up too much space in your locker. (This is important for students in cold climates as bulky cold weather gear takes up a lot of space.) I would recommend this to any student or person who has a working locker!
