This product is sturdy and assembles in minutes. <br />My daughter is going to order one right away. <br />Best storage I have ever used. I put mine on a rolling 3 sided homemade bottom so I can clean the bugs from under it easily. <br /> We have the garden tools,hoe,rake,weedeater and all the mops and brooms stored next to the back door in the garage.

My daughter is going to order one right away.

Simply, this plastic frame does not adequately support the load it is designed to hold. <br /> <br />In addition, tools stored in it are hard to retrieve and to replace. Look carefully at the design and imagine yourself lifting the handle of a hoe or rake high enough to take it from the organizer or put it back. <br /> <br />My greatest worry about this product, now that I've unloaded the thing and tossed out its pieces, is that it is NOT a safe way to store long handled tools. In particular, it is not something that should be used in an area where children are likely to pass through. Its instability and the hazards implicit in removing tools have made me completely reconsider how to store these things safely and conveniently.
