Rubbermaid 5A47 30-Tool Corner Tool Rack

I picked up one of these Rubbermaid racks at a local home center just this past summer. Its sturdy enough and well made in my opinion. And for what Amazon is asking for it, its reasonable enough for what you get. However, there are two things that I feel one should consider as to this units design before ordering. The first is to take note that this is a corner unit only. It cannot be placed in a shed or garage against a flat surface without it sticking out and taking up needless room. Make sure you have a corner in mind or planned for it. The second thing to consider is the units low profile that pretty much prevents it from holding and storing the very tools that it is pictured with. This unit is under two feet in height, making it very inefficient and unsteady for storing tall rakes and brooms with heavy heads on them like the ones pictured. Fill this rack up with just what is displayed and you would be just fine. As long as you don't ever go near it or touch it. Then it will tend to spill and fall over on you. The unit comes with a hook that is supposed to "anchor" it to the wall. Anchored meaning it is merely held to the wall, not screwed or bolted to it. Anchoring this unit as suggested with an S hook makes it no where near secure enough to handle the tall heavy tools that it is pictured with. It will still manage to move, bend, twist around, etc, with every removal and replacement. Its very corner design makes it quite difficult to solidly attach it to a corner wall or floor. This rack is a good choice if you have a corner for it in mind, and if you have a series of low profile yard tools and such that would not tend to overload it. The S hook anchoring system is efficient enough for that. (I found enough tools and implements that fit that description to make it worth keeping). However if your collection of tools are similar to the ones displayed in the photo here, I would suggest seeking out a higher profile rack. This one is unfortunately just not high enough for what the picture suggests in my opinion...
