Beware how far the hanger rod extends horizontally
I was hoping to use the hanger rod as advertised, hanging clothes on the coat hanger. However, the hanger rod doesn't extend as much as it seems. Beware that the hanger rod only comes out about 8inches from the side of the shelf. It is not possible to hang shirt without the shirt touching the side of the shelf. So the hanger rod seems only useful mainly for drying towels or pants but not for freshly ironed shirts. On the plus side, I was able to use this shelf over the space above a dehumidifier in the basement. Instead of using it to organize laundry supplies, I mainly use it to store all the cleaning supplies as well as hanging an ironing board on the side. The shelf arrived very well packaged. Once assembled, it is very sturdy and I am pleased with the quality of the materials. But I only wish it is possible extend the hanger rod further.
