I actually attached this to a wall inside my closet, with nails. Things that hang over doors never seem to work for me; the door won't close. Against the wall is nice and steady and it doesn't move around. All in all a fair price for a useful item. The fabric seems fairly strong, but don't expect to put large items like boots in it as they won't fit. But sneakers, slippers, water shoes, mules, they fit well.
