Whitmor Canvas COVER ONLY for Garment Rack

Pros:Attractive designSturdyWell madeRolls easilyPractical design with the easily installed rod and top and bottom shelvesHas optional, sturdy dust and sun cover (SO important in Arizona) that fits perfectly and is an excellent addition (reviewed separately)Has optional shoes or garment binsThe kit includes a couple extra plastic holders.Shelf locations are flexible.Cons:Assembly is funnier than a Marx Bros movie, if you do it yourself. I've used this design of racks for years, so I'm used to the slipping plastic holders and all the shelves collapsing and clanging around me, as the plastics fall out of place. I just lift the offending shelf corner and shove the plastics back up into place. Then hold together while pushing the corner down over them. Usually works.I found that the garment bin unit I bought to hang at one end was a section too long to hang in here.

This fits perfectly in an under-the-stairs closet. It is well made, shiny, and sturdy. I raised the bottom shelf a few inches to slide organizer boxes underneath it.

This is a good example of "you get what you pay for". I had bought a much less expensive, larger, garment rack that was a piece of crap. Torn right out of the package and got torn further while attempting to put it together. Tried calling their 800 number, but the number was no longer in service, so I returned it and bit the bullet by paying more for the Whimor Supreme Garment Rack. It was well worth the extra money! Went together easily and is very sturdy. No problems with tipping over even when fully loaded with clothes. With the shelf on top and bottom, there is lots of room and versatility. No need to hide it inside a closet, it's attractive enough to have sitting out in the open. Directions for assembly were easy to follow and it takes very little time or effort for one person to set up. Thanks to Amazon Prime, it was shipped right away and I received it in just two days. Even with the higher cost, it is a really good value when you consider that this a purchase that is, no doubt, going to outlast the cheaper versions for years to come.

I bought this rack to hold my clothes during a move from one state to another. Included in this purchase was the advertised canvas cover.The rack is made of sturdy materials and survived the trip in a UHaul truck without incident. It rolls fine when loaded to the gills and the bottom rack was useful for shoes.With the cover on, the top rack is pretty much useless for storage because the cover slides down and rest on that rack. Any items you want to store on top would be resting on the cover itself.One thing to be aware of: The rack is held together only by friction and gravity. The two racks slip over the four poles and are held in place only by their weight; no screws or bolts secure them.This means that the unit cannot be lifted by the racks, otherwise, the entire thing falls apart. They can be safely lifted by the poles and this will keep everything together. While this design sounds flimsy, it really is pretty strong once assembled correctly.The only reason I did not give this item 5 stars was because of the poorly written instructions. As usual, these were written by blind individuals who speak no known language. Consequently, you are left to figure out how the parts assemble correctly. Even a simple thing such as which way the racks fit; with their edges up or down? The picture certainly doesn't make that clear. This is crucial because the corner tubes of the rack are tapered slightly (not obvious at first glance) which locks the unit together.REMEMBER THIS: the plastic inserts that fit into the four corners of the racks are also tapered tubes; their sides are NOT parallel. It is this taper that allows the racks to compress against the four poles and lock the pieces in place. This important fact was overlooked in my set of instructions, but is perhaps the most important point to understand.The cover, also well made but with one major cost-cutting flaw. It uses buttons to secure the front opening instead of a zipper. Consequently, it's not dust proof since it hangs open between the widely spaced buttons.

Once you get this thing open and pieced together, it's great! It rolls nicely, is very sturdy and has plenty of extra space for accessories. The only negatives are the packaging and the directions, so I'll tell you how to put this together by yourself.1. Remove the wheels and the 4 bottom halves of the pole (the one with the small thread on the bottom) and screw the wheels on. Decide where you want the wheels that are able to lock. I just placed mine diagonally.2. Place the black clips in the same location on each pole toward the bottom by the wheels and lightly pull down on the clips to lock them in place.3. Then, place the poles through the holes of the 1st rack (They're both the same), with the lip of it facing downward. I just held the rack up on it's side and inserted the poles sideways, then straightened it up on the wheels. Push the rack down onto the black clips until it stabilizes.4. Screw the top half of the poles on, then place the rest of the black clips on the top portion of poles and just count the lines on the pole to make sure they're all at the same level and pull down to snap them into place.5. Place the top rack on, lip down.6. Find the center of the sides of the top rack and place the hangers, then screw in the 9th and final pole.7. Finally, unlock the the 2 locked wheels and you're ready to roll.The only thing I'd recommend to the manufacturer is to make a pull tab to open the box. I realize it's a heavy item that needs a sturdy box but it took more effort to open the box then to put the thing together. Actually, the directions need revising too. You have the wrong #'d pole pictured to attach the wheels to and it's confusing.Otherwise, a great purchase!!
