We have used these baskets for more than 5 years in our hall closet for mittens and hats. They have withstood the abuse of children and too much stuff jammed into them. Our closet is only 27 inches deep with double sliding doors, so we had to be careful where we placed the vertical brackets. We use the rubbermaid closet system in all of the closets. With a little pre-planning, this system was easy to install and has withstood the test of time.
