Review on All-Purpose Organizer by ClosetMaid in White by Logan Broadnax

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Follow the instructions very carefully!

I almost decided to purchase this product because of the many negative reviews about the complex assembly and manufacturing defects. But considering the cheap price I bought it anyway and I am very happy with my purchase. Assembly wasn't difficult at all, and I didn't find any flaws that have been talked about so much in previous reviews. I sincerely think that some people's problems are due to not understanding the assembly instructions. That's why I'm posting some of my photos in hopes that they might help others. Firstly, several reviews mention assembling the product from right to left and vice versa. I built mine following the instructions. LEFT TO RIGHT when looking at the front of the device. One more point (and this is very important!) - as you read the instructions, pay close attention to the "raw" and "finished" edges of each part during assembly. Cut edges are shaded in the figures. You will encounter problems if the parts are not assembled with the hatched edges placed exactly as shown in the drawings. I've included some pictures of my owner's manual to show what I'm talking about. Based on the photos posted by other reviewers, many people are having trouble getting the "F" part to fit properly. I'm including some photos of mine to show how the "F" piece connects to the "C" piece and how the camlock fasteners are placed. It's fairly easy as long as the orientation of each piece is correct (emphasizing the importance of the hatched edges in the instructions). Finally, I would advise NOT to use any glue. This makes it easier to remove parts and reassemble if you make a mistake. I didn't use any glue and the finished product is durable and looks great. In general I am satisfied with this product. I found it to be of acceptable quality considering the price I paid.
