1.0 out of 5 stars not as promised, October 18, 2005

By	amazon_junkie (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

The rack is not actually a five-foot rack. It comes as two separate 2.5' racks. Two C-shaped hooks (not permanently attached to either racks) are used to hook the bottom rack to the top rack. It is like a precarious swing set that falls apart at the slightest tremor.

Also, the top rack is connected to the over-the-door hooks by draping the top rack (with its pencil-thin wire) over two wide hooks. The hooks are not snug nor attached in any way, so the entire contraption slides around on the door.

I tried to use this equipment in my pantry door to hold spices, bottles, pasta, etc. Unfortunately, it was a game every time I opened the door. I never knew what configuration the racks would take when the door opened. The only guarantee was that -- no matter what misshapened form the racks took -- there was bound to be something I had to immediately catch from falling.

If you don't intend to use this rack as an over-the-door rack, I think it would be useful as a set of shelves nailed into the wall. Otherwise, I do not recommend this over-the-door rack because it's highly unstable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says. Price = Quality, March 15, 2007

By	Jeff Clineff "Just some guy, you know." (Douglassville, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It works as described. It is two (2) pieces; the bottom piece is hung with hooks from the top piece.

I had about 75 videos and 15 DVD's in it. The depth isn't quite right and it will not lay flat against the door with DVD's or VHS with the big covers (like Nightmare before Christmas or the original Shrek). Still, it doesn't stick out that far and you might not even notice. The width isn't right either and you end up with just enough space on a shelf that you think you can fit another DVD in but you can't.

It is cheap, cost wise, and you get what you pay for. With that many movies in it, it is bending a little at the top using the door hangers. I think I am going to screw it into the door and that should take care of it. I do not think it will collapse or break, it is made of wire, but it does bend a little.

It is worth the money if, like me, you want something cheap to hold movies.

Bottom line, buy it, use it, and if you set your expectations at the level of the cost of the product, you will not be disappointed.

I am rating it 5 stars because it does what it says and it is worth the price it is being sold at. If it was more expensive I would lower the rating.

3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, August 5, 2006

By	D. Stamey (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed extra space for videos and DVDs and didn't want to spend a high amount of money for what local stores offered. This seemed like the a cheap, easy solution. It is what it is pictured to be, a cheap metal rack that hangs on a door. It only holds VCR tapes in the cardboard sleeves and still lays flat against the door. If you put in DVD cases or the hard plastic VCR tape cases it causes it to stick out more. Still for the money, it serves it's purpose. It also rattles against the door if you move the door. If you want something perfect, you have to pay more.
