What Customers Are Saying

The closet organizer system features a customizable design and real wood construction, which many customers found attractive and effective for organizing their closets. However, a significant number of customers reported quality and assembly issues, including missing or defective parts, poor instructions, and hardware that was prone to breaking or not aligning properly. The assembly process was also described as overly complex and time-consuming, requiring additional tools and hardware not included in the kit. While some customers were satisfied with the final result, the majority of reviews indicate that this product has notable quality control and design flaws.

Smells so bad

Would Not Recommend

The off gassing is so bad. Smells so strong. Also I got the “white” but it looks yellowish next to our white walls.

Hartford Ventilated Closet System

Would Recommend

Decided on the Allen and Roth system, after being priced thousands for basic closet system, some were made of melamine, others looked like layered cardboard. Only hiccup was items selling fast, and restock timeframe was not available. Anyway, I am happy with the look and material, by the way make sure your wall can hold the system. There are work arounds. Lowe’s doesn’t install, but I had a contractor do mine.

Low Quality

Would Not Recommend

I've assembled many all-in-one boxes of furniture/cabinetry. I expect imperfections. The primary issue with this system is the structure itself. I've used the cam lock and bolt mechanisms before in assembling and never had any issues. These do not fit together, the locks are brittle, the bolts are too thin, and there is no 'lock' aspect. Because the bolts are too thin and there is no lock, the panels will not stay together. I ended up reinforcing the connections with screws in hope that it will ...

Simple to assemble and very functional

Would Recommend

I read the other reviews stating how hard this was for them. I experienced no issues and I have a non-standard closet space. I will say that you need to be DIY skilled to handle this. You need to be able to read blueprints and be able to interpret them. The instructions are not great but they are ok. They leave some room for interpretation but if you are experienced in putting furniture together, this isn't hard. The tower must be installed on the wall so you need to be comfortable finding...

3.6 stars is too many

Would Not Recommend

This closet system claims to be for 5ft-8ft closet spaces, leading you to believe it is customizable. If you start construction without reading the instructions first, you’ll find out at STEP 15 that you need to “hire an insured home remodeler” to cut down the top shelf with proper tools. If you get past that step, there is no instruction that will tell you that the expandable closet bar is the same length at its shortest as the uncut wood. So there is no need to extend beyond that original leng...

Great quality but off-gassing is strong

Would Recommend

I bought this after seeing the display in Lowe’s I found it looked the closest to custom that I could find without looking cheap. Easy to put together, one of the slides for the drawers broke but Lowe’s customer service sent a replacement right away. My only complaint is the off gassing is awful. I’m very sensitive to smells so this bothered me and it took about 3 weeks to really have the room back to normal. I think no matter what you buy that’s painted will have some off gassing. We gu...
