This valet rod is sturdy and very easy to install. Unlike similar products that require drilling holes into closet walls or have fixed distances between mounting points, this one has a clever design with two independent brackets that can be mounted any distance apart, up to about 12” for the 14” model. The brackets fit perfectly into the pre-drilled holes used for closet shelves and are secured with included short screws. Longer wood screws are also included if you don’t have pre-drilled holes. After screwing in the brackets, simply slide the valet tube through and lock it in place with a small hex-head screw. The installation took only about 5 minutes, although I probably took an additional 10 minutes for measuring and picking the perfect spot. The pull-out portion slides out effortlessly for hanging clothes and then back in when not needed. It's a great product for conveniently hanging clothes temporarily. Read more
These worked perfectly on an EasyClosets install and are a fraction of the cost compared to the offering from them. They use "Euro screws" to install into the existing adjustable shelf holes ( 3/16" holes) or include additional screws for mounting in non pre-drilled locations. My only nit is that I wish there were more resistance when sliding them out so it felt like a pneumatic tube instead of a free sliding one. (It slides very easily.). Install takes about a minute to do. Wish it came in a matte black or flat black option. Used two sets so that one could be mounted higher and a second at waist height so that you could assemble an outfit (top and bottom) while selecting clothes. Also nice to hang the dry cleaning on while getting sorted back into the closet. Will definitely buy again. Read more
I had previously asked a question about whether you needed a proprietary shelving system to install this or was it suitable for installation on a standard stud/drywall surface. The answer is it will work on a conventional wall. I hit one stud on the corner (obviously) and wasn't so lucky on the second attachment but used a drywall anchor with no problem. I am very impressed with the weight, the finish, the easy installation (2 screws - yet 4 were provided) and the extension feels solid like it could carry a fair amount of weight at full extension. I had been concerned that there would be some 'play' on the extension rod when extended but the fit is tight. I'm very pleased and so is the Mrs. Easily 5 stars. Read more
I had been searching for a valet rod that would work with the existing holes in my Ikea closet (Ikea didn't even offer such an option!). Tried multiple other brands, but all of the mounting brackets lined up in a way that made using ONLY the existing holes impossible. The unique design of this item worked perfectly, was easy to install, and looks better as there is no bracket showing. Read more
Make sure to measure your closet . I have different depth sizes in my closet and I need 4 more 2 of them don't go far out enough we had to drill on the wood. But the product itself is nice. Make sure to measure the depth of your closet Read more
I was expecting this to be a flimsy plastic item like ClosetMaid's tie rack or so many other items that call themselves chrome but are really made of plastic. This was not cheap plastic. This is actually made of metal, and surprisingly sturdy. Installation took less than 10 minutes and all you need is a screwdriver and the included Allen wrench. It comes with 2 mounting brackets that you can easilyscrew into ANY closet system that has pre drilled holes. (I have an Easy Closet system.) The placement of the brackets is not fixed so you do not have to worry if your holes are 5 inches apart or 10 inches. It will work. Alternatively, you can drill holes and/or install it in drywall (with anchors/mollies if you don't have a stud to anchor the screws). Installation is very versatile. After mounting the brackets, you simple slide the pole through the holes in the brackets, then tighten with an Allen wrench to secure it. The slide out pole is quite sturdy and I am confident it will hold several outfits while packing for trips. I plan to purchase more of these. One for me laundry room and another for my closet. They are less expensive than the ones offered by Easy Closets, plus free shipping with Amazon Prime and easy to install. Highly recommend. Read more

Have been looking for a solution, as to where to hang my clothes, after ironing or picking out OOTD. Well, here it is! While I do have a customized closet and room to hang/store all my clothes, I love to use this valet rod-to hang clothes that I have either set aside to wear, keep unwrinkled or to hang while steaming. Be creative as to where to hang yours. I found the brackets too bulky when mounted on sides, taking up valuable storage space, so I ended up mounting underneath. Very solid and well-built. Read more
