The Rubbermaid Configurations kit is a modular organization system that uses a cold-rolled steel chassis with an epoxy coating. This finish is specifically chosen to resist yellowing and humidity, making it suitable for closets located near bathrooms. The design features a proprietary rail system that allows brackets to be clicked into place and shelves to be adjusted vertically in 1-inch increments without the need for tools after the initial installation.
One of the primary advantages of this kit is the telescoping rod design, which expands to fit your space without the need for metal cutting. While the rods are built to be sturdy, the overlapping joint creates a small ridge that may cause hangers to catch slightly when moved across the rail. For the best support, the top "Hang Rail" should be secured into wall studs, providing a reliable foundation for the cantilevered brackets.
The flexibility of the geometry allows for multiple configurations, such as tiered hanging zones or extra-long shelving runs. While the kit includes standard mounting hardware, using toggle bolts is a helpful practical step for ensuring the system stays level when used in homes where wall studs do not align with the bracket placement.
If you prefer a darker aesthetic with similar adjustable features, the Rubbermaid Adjustable Closet Organization System in Titanium Finish offers a more modern look.
