This is an extremely useful design. I never thought I'd get excited about something like this but I recently moved to an old house with chimney flues running through every room, resulting in shallow alcoves that are of differing sizes.
A fitted wardrobe would be pricey (~$4000), barely fit depthwise and half of the space would just be covering the flue if we wanted it wall to wall.
On the other hand I can just buy 3/4 of these for each wall and still come out ahead. The grooves in the rods are well thought out and mean that I can saw them to size myself, as can anyone.
The only drawback I can think of is having clothes up directly against a wall. This could obstruct airflow and be an incentive for mould to grow.
Might be time for my first ever pledge.
- killerpopiller 3y agoI thought about it as well but if the rod is attached to a plank on the wall the clothes are 1cm away from the wall allowing for some air circulation. Btw, there is an alternative solution, a hanger where the hook can spin, so one can hang clothes diagonally, nearly flat. Hers looks nicer on the wall though.
- ehnto 3y agoI find coathangers comically cumbersome, if they could spin willy nilly I just might give up and store my shirts in draw. I already just fold and stack most everything else, the only thing I bother hanging is button down shirts.
- dan-robertson 3y agoBasically any coat hanger not made of wire or a single plastic part has a rotatable hook. There’s usually enough friction that they won’t normally spin.
- bcraven 3y agoThe other drawback is creasing all of your clothes.
