ClosetMaid 1566 Stackable 2-Drawer Horizontal Organizer, White

I needed drawers to fit in my recently remodeled closet. I live in an old house and was trying to make an odd closet functional. All other items that I considered were either too wide for the space or did not give the depth measurement at all. I really did not want to buy this product and wanted something nicer. However, since this item has metal drawer slides and I knew that I could make the drawers nicer if I needed to, I went ahead and got them. I have had drawers with just the groove on the side as a drawer slide. I would not recommend anything like that unless the drawers are made of solid wood. The drawer slides that are included are of good quality. The drawers come with plastic drawer pulls but I replaced those to make the drawers nicer. I stuck with the same shape drawer pull as the ones provided because of the tight space in my closet. I thought the rounded pulls would be safer if you bump into them in passing.The are the perfect size for the space that I had. I had 11 inch depth from the wall to the doorway and about 25 inches between the wall and the hanging clothes area. The measurements are 12 inches deep 24 and 1/8 inch wide. Each set of 2 drawers are 15 and 3/4 inches high... my 3 sets together were 47 and 1/2 inches high I was going to put them on a shoe shelf I had, but it made it too tall so I made a single shelf under it and it turned out perfectly. The inside measurements are 22&1/2 inch Wide and 10 & 1/4 inch deep the inside height is 6& 1/4 inch on the front and 4 &1/8 inch sides and back.When putting together something as cheaply made as this you will need to take your time and put them together step by step. Use of hand held screwdriver will sometimes have a better result than use of power tools. Slowly start screws at the proper angle. Starting screws too quickly can cause the hole to widen and loss of laminate coating in the area when the screw slips out of place because you where rushing. I would always add a SMALL amount of glue to the predrilled holes(larger holes, not the ones for the drawer slides), sides that are connected together and the groove for the drawer bottom to add some extra strength to the final product. Wipe away and glue drips with damp cloth. Don’t over wet the cloth since the drawer bottom is essentially cardboard.There was one drawer that had a broken area under the groove for the bottom of the drawer. I was not expecting perfection for an item this cheap and was happy that it was a small area on only one of the 6 drawers. I did fix the area even though it may have been okay without a fix. However since I own an old house and have leaned from experience that it is easier to fix it now than to possibly have a problem later, I went ahead and fixed it. I cut a couple of broken shims to size, glued them together then glued them into the broken area that I had chiseled out and cleaned up.

I’m pretty sure I bought the Walmart version of this 20 years ago for $20 and it was way better quality than this, which is trash, and pure robbery at $88/set of drawers.First, several pieces were mislabeled. Luckily I used my judgment and ignored the piece labeling and went with common sense and the pictures. But if I’d followed the instructions based on the letter labeling, I would’ve spent a lot more time taking this back apart.Second, the holes were pre-drilled in a way that made the top extremely uneven. There’s about 1/8” difference in where the top on the right ended up vs the left. This makes it so I have to wiggle the drawer around to close it, it scrapes on the right, and there is 1/8” gap on the left. Thankfully this is getting put into a closet but if it were going to be visible 24/7 it would drive me nuts.Third, the quality is trash. When I was trying to screw the drawer into the track, a giant piece of composite came out and now the screw is just loose in there (luckily caught on the metal bracket, but it was super difficult to figure out what was even the problem even was because the composite got stuck.Would definitely not buy this again. If I hadn’t gotten it unpacked and 90% put together when I realized how crooked the top is, I’d return it.It also barely fits anything. This is obviously on me for not specifically seeking out interior drawer dimensions and overestimating how bulky the exterior is, but I’d purchased this to hold sweaters and I could fit 4 per drawer which is not enough and they took up 1/4 the room of this thing as 8 sweaters just stacked

I bought this for my pantry to keep large bags of potatoes (one drawer) and large bag of onions (other drawer) in. Works great and really cleaned up my pantry. Easy to put together. Perfect for me!

I ordered two white units, the material was decent, on par with the price paid.Assembly was fairly easy, just a lot of parts. Once I assembled the first one, the second one was a breeze...except I got a little careless with one of the nails in the back and chipped the corner a bit when the nail was skewed, but that was user error. Also the "finished" side is not very durable. If you're placing those faced down while assembling, make sure there is something between the finished edges and the floor so you don't damage the finish.I decided not to stack them after seeing how narrow the first one was, nor did I want to go through the hassle of cutting out part of the back board and mounting it to a wall. The bottom of each drawer is also a very thin particle board with no support in the middle, doubt it can take much weight. I plan on storing light blankets and pillows in them when I'm not using them, so they should be able to hold up.Attaching the diagram with all the parts for reference together with my assembled drawers. The one on the right is chipped in the back corner, I'll probably put something on top to cover it.

What can I say, I LOVE these stackable drawers! They were easy enough to assemble. I purchased 2 of these after purchasing 2 of the stackable 15-unit organizers, and stacked all 4. They have wood dowels for stacking. I of courses replaced the drawers pulls with the crystal knobs. All of these were perfect for my craft room! One thing that I noticed was I paid $54 for each one, and it has almost doubled since. I would definitely not pay $87 for one!! AND IT'S NOT SOLID WOOD. Sad because I had thought about buy more, but I'll have to find something comparable I guess. BUT if money is not a worry....I highly recommend!

These drawers are cheap and madeCheap. They are very fragile and you have to be super careful when opening and closing them. They were pretty easy to put together but the drawer brackets were super greasy and got your hands dirty when assembling. The wood kind of leaves dust sometimes when opening and closing the drawers
