Benefits of technology

[0008] Another object of the invention is to provide a closet organizer that is easily collapsable for storage or shipping.
[0011] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a closet organizer that allows the user to store shoes, shirts, socks and other items in a neat organized fashion.
[0012] Still yet another object of the invention is to provide a closet organizer that includes a non stick surface material that prevents items stored in the organizer from sliding off.

Problems solved by technology

Although this configuration works well for hanging items such as pants, shirts, dresses and the like, it does not lend itself to storing other items such as shoes, socks, undergarments, and the like.
Although many people store these items in drawers, some people do not have adequate drawer space and are forced to find other solutions.
Although these devices provide storage, they are limited in the amount of shoes they can hold, they require a wall or door to hang them and they tend to deform the shape of the shoes they hold.
However, their relativly small size restricts the amount of items that can be stored.
If the size were larger, the user would have a dificult time reaching items that are at the rear of the unit because the unit is designed to face forward with no provision for rotation.
