Would this item be good to store sweaters in or is it too flimsy to hold them? Need something to organize my sweaters. Thanks!

This is worst one to store clothes, specially heavy ones. I don't recommend this item

It would be great for sweaters. I have several pairs of jeans in some of them.

Honestly it looks really cute but it was not durable whatsoever. It falls apart real quick which is why I returned mine.

Holy sweater collection batman! Yes you're fine. Assembled correctly it is pretty sturdy and can be made into a shorter wider shape if your sweaters are made outta metal or something wierd.

Very sturdy, and perfect for your sweaters as it is enclosed. I have my shirts and sweaters in this unit

This is perfect for sweaters, pants or just about anything in ur closet. I bought two of these!

It would be good to hang sweaters in... Not to overly flimsy ... However make sure it's on carpet so it doesn't slide... I use it to store folded shirts, sweaters and book shelf with 50" tv on top... So it's sturdy with balanced weight

I store shoes, but you can store anything that is not too heavy. i bought it because each compartment is big. Other shoe hangers are not too wide.

Hello again JD, When reading the rest of the reviews, I found your answer, YAY! I was curious myself as I intend to purchase this item. This time I'm more helpful to you. I copied the review dated a month after you posted your question as to whether this garment rack is adjustable: "5.0 out of 5 stars Durable Space Saver!, August 20, 2010 By emma - I recently moved into an apartment with limited closet space, so I needed to get creative to find ways to store my sizable wardrobe. I did thorough research on several websites trying to find a good garment rack. This one was one of the best values I saw, and it gets free shipping! You need two people to assemble this product, not because the assembly is complicated, but because the pieces are large. My husband and I were easily able to put it together in 15 minutes, and then wheel it into the bedroom. One of the things I like is that the position of the top and bottom shelves is adjustable. I was able to hang all my dresses and suits on this rack -- I was amazed! Some of the items on it are quite heavy (I have several full length, beaded/ sequined evening gowns), but that didn't seem to cause any problem. About 55 garments of mine fit on this rack. I love that it has the shelf on top of it. I used that to store my purses. I also used the shelf at the bottom for the formal shoes that go with my dresses. So far, it has held up really well! I haven't seen any signs of top-heaviness either. The rack is a perfect balance between size and compactness. It holds everything I need it to, but it doesn't take up a huge portion of my bedroom. The shiny finish is attractive, and I love what it does for my dresses! A great buy!"

It could be we use it more as a miscellaneous drawer at the moment. You could always fill it with papers you need to hold on to. In terms of keeping them organized it will not help in that regrard. Hope this helped!

I think as long as it's installed properly it should hold. I have mine mounted in my laundry room and it can hold sweaters, shirts, and unmentionables, with no problems. Make sure to use anchors if you're installing it into drywall.

You can definitely fit one MAYBE two of the flatter storage bins under it. Plenty of clearance for sweater boxes, gift wrap storage etc. on a side note, I love this piece. I have the peacock colored chaise and it is my favorite piece in the living room. Very sturdy. Can fit two grown adults comfortably sitting or three smaller people. I haven't laid down on it.

Just tested this--it holds folders fine, but if there are loose papers inside, they won't be supported, and they'll fall inward. If you have a lot of loose papers, I'd recommend something that gives support all along the bottom (like a clear acrylic version).

There is a bin type tip out that would not function as a file cabinet. I keep yarn in mine (but not very much).

Its not sturdy if you need to hang a lot of stuff on it. Once you put it together its not easy to store unless you have a huge closet. The box it came in isn't very big and can stand in the corner, of course you'll be assembling and disassembling when you need it. One of mines is still in the box..going to try to sell it in a garage sale soon.

I'm sure it could work for sweaters. But, I think you could find something better for clothes. This is more for herbs or vegetables. Hope that helps you out.

I think they should work well for that purpose. I used mine for my closet and liked that they fastened well on my shelves and are sturdy enough to support handbags and divide my stacked sweaters in my closet. They will also be sturdy enough to support your cookbooks. Just make sure you buy the appropriate size for your shelves. I bought a second set and didn't realize I was buying the larger size and had to use in a bigger space then intended because they were too tall for the intended space.

With , but , before you buy think about what you are using it for. Mine has light items in it and it is collapsing! I am looking for something sturdier. It's good for yarn and other very very light things but nothing heavier than that.

I didn't have an issue with any of the poles bending over the years I had it. At one point I had a few hanging organizers in it to store sweaters. I used hangers that held 5 pairs of pants/shirts as well. I used it like a regular closet and it held up.

I bought 2 of these and absolutely love them. I have not tried to move mine, but you would definitely have to take everything out to move. Would not be good for heavy items, I use mine for shirts, blouses, and pants, no heavy sweaters or coats. It is a little flimsy, but it works for what I need it to do.

Well i'm not sure really, all we've been hanging on it are hoodies and sweaters. It seems very sturdy and strong though. It all depends on how you hang it too i'm sure. sorry i didn't have more information

We've put four pairs if jeans on it as well as four of my blouses with no problem. We do hang them so the weight is evenly distributed though. We use the thin huggable hangers instead of wooden or plastic ones as they aren't as heavy and fit nicely in the slots. I also put my damp coat on there to dry and drape socks over the rails. No problems. Just remember to distribute the weight evenly! Hope this helps.

Not sure I can provide a precise answer, but the boxes are pretty enormous. With a little ingenuity, I'd wager you could fit at least a dozen, and possibly up to 20, adult-sized sweaters in one of the boxes.
