Bought 4 of these sliding pants racks, 2 for my closet and 2 for husband's closet. Boughts several other accessories to go along with the two closet systems we bought and this was by far the trickiest to install. Instructions seemed easy enough but for some reason it just wasn't that easy to get it into the uprights. I actually ended up bending one of the brackets when one side fell. I got it straightened and installed eventually. Nice that the rack glides in and out. Make sure your closet doors will not block the unit when it is slid out. In my closet there was only one section of the uprights that it could work in an 8-foot closet. The pants rack holds 7 pairs of slacks which my husband thinks is a waste of space. Horizontally it may seem wasteful but it actually saves space vertically as there is not the extra inches taken up by hangers. You can also put two pairs of pants on each rod if the material isn't that thick. Overall, I really like the sliding pants rack, just be careful installing it.

Make sure you have have room for this item. It is a bit wide. Installation is easier if the brackets are installed before assembly. The screws are not hard to install once the support brackets are on the standards. Takes up a lot of space but moves very smoothly.

I got two one on top of the other to minimize the space this takes up. If I had it to do again, I would not buy these and just use regular pants hangers.

Overall the Rubbermaid configurations are very easy to install. Just this piece, it was very difficult.

1. You must install the original bars at exactly 2' apart, even if a little wider / narrow, you'll have a heck of a time trying to put this pant holder on.

2. When you finally sucessfully install it, you'll find this item takes way too much space than what it's worth. In the space you fit 1 pant holder, you can fit 2 x 26" shelves. If you fold the pants, you can put a lot more. If you use a pants cloth hanger, it'll hold a lot more than 7 pairs in that area.

3. This unit costs $50, it looks nice, but in actual use, it's inferior compared to the other parts and accessories of the Rubbermaid Configuration.

Got 2 of these, ended up returning both and bought more of the 26" shelves, far more useful.

We put up one side of our closet organizer first, then tried to put the pants rack on... next to impossible! It was slightly too wide so we had to loosen the screws, put it on, then tighten them. On the other side we actually used the pant rack to space out the vertical bars before we attached them to the wall, but that was a fiasco because we had a ton of trouble trying to get the rack back off! It's really nice and functional otherwise :)

Pants rack adds level of customization that is impressive. Quality component that slides in and out easily for access.

I didn't install, so I can't comment on that part. But now that it's here, I love it! It is much easier to store my pants this way. The rack slides right out for easy access.

Heavy construction. Had to send back as it would have taken up too much space in my closet. If you have room for it, should work great! Shipped quickly. As advertised. Quality as expected.

I love this system. Everything is neat at a fraction of the cost of a custom closet.

So easy to use! I put all my slacks on these hangers. No longer are my pants hung lopsided anymore!

The pull out trouser rods are very handy! They were easy to install and make hanging trousers very quick with no wrinkles.
