Assemble bags in correct slots

My third LONGTEAM bag organizer arrived yesterday and I hope it can handle the rest of my bags; Otherwise I'll buy a fourth one right away, which I'll probably need anyway, because I really like collecting purses. My inability to figure out how to properly keep them safe has been a difficult issue for me and I've spent a lot of money trying to fix various related issues. First, I bought a long, free-standing wardrobe. and nice sturdy hangers that make it easy to just remove the bag from one end when I've chosen one and then put it back on. One problem I had was that my bag collection had finally outgrown the wardrobe and my bags started almost crushing each other. Someone else here commented on package gluing, and so did some of mine. As many were dyed leather I had legitimate concerns about the color used to transfer leather from one bag to the bags on either side. I also knew that the shoulder straps would certainly be stressed enough from being squeezed that the straps would likely stretch or occupy the point created by the strap. Since one clothes rack occupies the entire wall, it was impossible to add a second one to have more space for wallets. However, I realized I needed to give my favorite bags more support, less pressure when squashed into other bags, and protection from dust collecting on them due to the lack of a top cover. So far I've been excited about it. my first two purchases of this, as am I sure will be with this new one. My shoulder bags need the flatness of the center column with four compartments. The only thing that disappointed me about these four central compartments is that they are not all the same size as the largest bottom compartment. I found the top opening of this centerpiece was so low that I had to use it to tuck my evening bags and bracelets vertically. While I'm disappointed with the different heights of these four shallow holes, I found the top one perfect for protecting those little wallets - and they look pretty good as they are. The three long "loop" wallet holders hanging on either side didn't seem to go with the sturdier design of the backpacks at all. However, they are great for wallets with less shape improvement. I let the straps hang outside of my compartment if they were more flexible, but the stronger straps seemed to take extra care when inserting as they were so stiff they just seemed to stay inside with the bag itself. I found it difficult to use hobos in any of the compartments as their natural tendency to fall on themselves made it almost impossible to store them anywhere without just falling into a small pile in the outside pockets and almost having to fold them up itself. which corresponded to half of the bag lying on the bottom of the four middle bags. I have yet to finish my third of these LONGTEAM purse organizers as it just arrived. Those still hanging on open hangers are mostly woven purses, mostly used in summer. One of them is covered in some sort of shiny metallic coating that tends to add some of its "shine" to almost anything it touches, so it'll definitely take up a separate center compartment. Unfortunately, this requires folding and probably tissue paper between the two halves to protect each side from itself. Others, I assume, are treated the same, but without the tissue paper. I can put several in one compartment. I don't think these woven bags work well in the side pockets, except maybe rolled up and tucked into the side pockets. The LONGTEAM appears to have been carefully crafted to accommodate all types of bags, although I myself have no idea how such an organizer - or any other - could effectively handle a hobo shoulder bag. I worry less about that now. Designer purses that I've been buying for years. I think placing them in an organizer will greatly improve their usability and I'm very glad I chose a LONGTEAM product.
