I buy way too much wrapping paper - I think it's all the pretty colors. So my house has been a mess of paper stacked in corners, bags stuffed in the back of a closet and boxes of bows. Thankfully, I found this product.
The organizer is super space-efficient - you hang it in your closet and it takes about the same amount of space as a winter coat. There are compartments for paper, bows, ribbon, scissors, tape, bags and flat paper. Even completely full (as mine is), it's sturdy and holding up fine.
However, it's not going to hold EVERYTHING. The description says "up to 12 rolls," but I was only able to fit 8 large size rolls of wrapping paper. I still give it five stars, though, because who really needs more than 8 rolls of wrapping paper?
Bottom line, this product is so much better than the plastic organizers you can buy at stores like Wal-Mart or Target. I plan to buy some for family members as gifts this Christmas.

Don't let the picture fool you. I found this product to be smaller than pictured. It is also wasn't that well made. Mine arrived partially torn in one of the corners.

Had I seen this product in the store I probably wouldn't have bought it.

I really loved the idea of this item. I purchased this item after loving the Jokari Gift Bag Organizer, White and wanted it's sister product!. I was very disappointed with the hanging gift wrap organizer. First of all, it was much smaller than I had imagined. But that's my own fault for not paying closer attention to the dimensions. Next, The plastic was cheap and flimsy. Finally, the whole thing was just poorly designed. I placed about 6 rolls of paper (3 on each side), and the whole thing wobbled and hung lopsided. Even the hanger seemed like it was strained from my measly 6 rolls of paper. I can't imaging using it for 12 rolls of paper, as the description claims that it can. I ended up returning it, and purchasing a tall plastic storage container by sterilite to stand in the corner of my closet to hold my gift wrap.

I had the previous model. It wery well made with fabric netting, and I love it. Needed one more.
Found it is now made only in plastic.
Ordered it, Amazon sent it quickly. The thing looks and feels like a cheap thing. I would need to use a hair dryer to soften the plastic compartments into shape ( or hang it outside on a hot day).
BUT HERE IS THE REALLY BIG PROBLEM.
IT IS MISSING THE CARDBOARD STIFFENERS THAT THIS CHEAP VERSION NEEDS TO MAKE THE PLASTIC COMPARTMENTS HAVE A USABLE SHAPE.
Yeah, assembly is required. BUT THE STIFFENERS ARE NOT IN THE PACKAGE.
So I notified Amazon I needed a replacement. The new one arrived lightning quick.
IT HAS NO STIFFENERS EITHER.
The item is useless and I have had it.
So I am just returning it for a refund. I cannot see re-ordering the item. Obviously a batch of these things was shipped without the needed pieces.
I am not a happy camper.

The Gift Wrap Organizer has a lot of space but the plastic rips very easily. I would not want to move it around much like they show in the pictures.

I was so excited to receive this product in the mail, and so disappointed when I actually started putting gift wrap in it. It is extremely flimsy. The plastic that covers the pouches is cheap and thin; one of them ripped after I'd barely touched it, and before I'd had a chance to put anything inside the pouch.

In addition, the pouches are odd sizes-they would never hold what I had hoped to store in this organizer. When I looked at the picture on Amazon before purchasing, I thought I would be able to store not only rolls of wrapping paper, but flat squares of wrapping paper as well. Doesn't it look like that is what's in the top, middle pouch? No. Those must be very small greeting cards, because the pouches are MUCH too small to store standard size flat squares of wrapping paper (you know, the kind you would purchase at Hallmark, or from elementary school fundraisers?). I ended up storing 4 rolls of wrapping paper, some spools of ribbon, 2 scotch tape dispensers and a pair of mini scissors before running out of room. My flat squares of wrapping paper are still being stored in an empty gift bag on the floor of the closet, which was what I had hoped to eliminate by making this purchase. Disappointed!

It has a great design, but the quality of materials is seriously lacking. The clear plastic started ripping in one area as I unfolding it. Most of the plastic seems just about to rip if given any tension. Also, the velcro doesn't hold very well.

Good for basic organizing of a few items, but when I put in the sixth roll, CRASH.
The hanger broke and everything was on the floor. Fortunately my husband was able to repair it in his workshop.

This product tore the moment I took it out of the box. I read all of the reviews that warned of similar ease of tearing but thought I'd simply be more ginger with it. It practically ripped to the touch. It was impossible to even unfold it, let alone put anything in it, without the plastic tearing at the folds, or the pockets or velcro tearing away from the piece itself.
It's too small for my purposes, as well, but that's subject to personal needs. I will say that the center compartments for storing bows and ribbon are too stiff to open enough to fit bows in without crushing them.
Overall, the primary and pretty much the only necessary thing to mention is that it didn't last a half second upon arrival. $20 down the drain.

This is not an expensive product but it has held up very well for the low price. It does not hold as much as it says it will but what does? I have been much more organized since buying it and am planning to buy another since I reuse bows and ribbon, and need the storage!
