We recently re-did the closet in a spare bedroom using the 'Lynnette Jennings' Closit organizing system from Sauder. This rod pack is part of the system. So far, we are very happy with the system, which we installed about a week ago. The Closit system avoids the need to find studs and attach the components to the wall, making it a much more practical and easy do-it-yourself project. The key to the design is the use of 'wood' braces, which are attached to the top-most component in the shelf stack via a very easy to use bolt and wingnut system. The braces are used to brace the shelves to the overhang on the opposite wall (the wall where the doors are). After using them, the assembled shelves are rock-solid, particularly when 'braced' against each other (in the perpendicular direction) via the clothes rods. We are in earthquake country but we have no concerns about this system. The rod pack (and a related shelve-style rod pack) are sold separately from the the tower shelving. That's a little annoying because the rod pack contains the braces, which really are absolutely required to make the system rigid. (I guess if you plan a closet that is all shelving with no hanging space you still need to buy one or more rod packs to get the braces). There are only two braces per rod pack, so in our closet (see picture), which had both a double and a single shelf tower and a rod shelf instead of two standard rods, we were actually short a brace. The double shelf feels very solid with a single brace but we may buy a second rod pack to be safe. I don't think the instructions for the Closit system are as clear as they could be, particularly with respect to how to use 'wood' blocks, which are supposed to be used to shim the shelves in cases where the baseboards in your closet don't allow them to be flush against the wall. In our closet, we didn't need them... but then we found that suits and blazers (things on large hangers, in other words) that are hung on the single rod are slightly too close to the wall. Fortunately, the rod-shelf has three rods, so if you use the outer one the suits hang fine. We used the Wal-Mart site to store option, saving nearly $100 in shipping costs on what came to a $270 Closit system purchase. That option, combined with the better price and availability, led us to make our first ever Wal-Mart purchase (normally we buy at another discount store). Overall, this is a great product. Frankly, it's the best flat-pack product we have ever bought and assembled. It only took a couple of hours to put the whole thing together and install.
