This thing is the bomb! I used it to store shoes and the middle and lighter items on the outside. There are elastic straps on the sides and netting in the back. It’s on a strong metal hook so you can spin it around. It really is awesome. We are downsizing and I need to empty one closet entirely. That’s the only reason I’m letting it go. I really loaded it up and it held up great. And, it folds flat!
