Garden Tool Organizer

This is completely plastic, even including the 4 posts that hold the two plastic trays apart. If these were metal pipes, like they appear to be in the picture, i think the unit would be a bit sturdier. It definitely needs to be secured to something like a wall or possibly the floor in order to provide the rigidity and stability necessary to store more than one or two lightweight tools. That said, it does appear to do the job, so now we'll see how long it lasts...

I must have bought this on sale when it didn't come with the cloth attachment because I don't remember it being this much. It is flimsy for sure but the reviewer who said it needs to be secured is correct. First, I cut 2 equal size pieces of a 2 x 4 the length of the unit. I mounted them on either side of the unit at the bottom through the points where the vertical suports are inserted, with deck screws. This gives the unit some weight. I then put it over a couple of screws where the notches (upside down "Vs") are. The screws are in anchors in dywall. I have all the gardening tools in there now: shovels, rakes and clippers.

The overall product isn't too bad - given the price, but the most important tidbit is that it MUST be mounted to the wall, otherwise it's functionally useless. I have it setup in the garage, where it holds a set of yard tools like rake, snow shovel, etc. However, because it's made from paper thin plastic, I wouldn't recommend any heavy tools be placed in it, or in the pouch either, as it's likely to bring it down possibly damaging something or hurting someone.

I purchased this despite what the other reviewers said, because A) it was on sale and B) neither spoke of mounting this to the floor or wall for stability. Upon opening it the package, I immediately understood what they meant by "flimsy" etc. It's definitely not the "best quality tool organizer" out there. In fact, I'll say it... aside from the red pouch, the individual parts just look & feel cheap. Then I assembled it - it still felt cheap, but it started to look much better. Put the pouch over it and it stopped looking & feeling cheap :-) One problem I had here was that the pouch kept popping off one corner. It's not a huge deal and can easily be worked around. Now for the big test... I could see how one might say it "tips easily" or "should be made of heavier materials" etc. but ONLY if you don't mount it to something! I originally thought I would mount this to the floor of my shed, but the holes on my shed didn't line up nicely to where I wanted to put this organizer. I didn't want to drill into the walls just yet either, so what did I do? I duct taped the upper bracket to the wall :-) It was VERY STABLE. As for being taller... it did actually seem somewhat short, considering the long garden tools I had, but it didn't seem to make any difference at all - it was completely stable as it was. In fact, if it was longer, I wouldn't be able to put in some of the tools into it, because it would hit the roof of my shed. Bottom line - perfect height. In summary, not only did this organizer meet my expectations, it surpassed it (perhaps because I had such low ones based on the reviews). Simply fixing it to the wall made it completely stable. I actually couldn't believe it... it fit ALL of my large/long garden tools, with the exception of a few shovels (I have many). I seriously expected for it to fit only a few, but it even fit my shears and trimmers! In fact, my plan was to buy 2 of them if this one worked out for me, but now I'm actually still looking for things to put in this one! My only regret... is that I wish I found out where that other reviewer trashed his before I bought mine ;-) Go buy it already - it's on sale dirt cheap.

Very flimsy, tips easily, would be better if was taller and made from heavier materials. Save your money.
