Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jokari 05070 Hanging Gift-Wrap Organizer
Customer Review: A Gift Wrap Organizer that Works Wonders!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Jokari gift wrap organizer amid much scorn from my family for my consumer habits. But now everyone at my house is so pleased I went ahead and made the investment. This organizer is similar to one of those closet shoe organizers, only this one works! It is flat, made mostly of clear plastic, and hangs off the integrated hanger to fit in your coat closet. The front of the organizer is flat, with two long vertical pockets on either side which hold about 4 rolls of wrapping paper each. Between these two wrapping paper pockets are three small pockets which hold ribbons, gift tags, cards, scissors etc. On the back of organizer are three somewhat larger pockets, which you can use to hold gift bags and similar larger flattish items
All of our Christmas and birthday wrapping items are stored, hanging flat, in an easily accessible closet. The translucent plastic ensure that you can easily find what you need. If you have a coat closet that can handle one more thin object on a hanger, and are looking to store 6 to 8 rolls of wrapping paper,and wouldn't mind some related items with them, I highly recommend this hanging organizer.
Customer Review: Decent product but not enough
Summary: 3 Stars
I think my biggest gripe with this product is its description. If you buy those crazy expensive skinny little rolls then you might be able to get 12 rolls in the pockets. I put 3 larger rolls (the kind Target sells) in each pocket and only managed to fit a fourth roll in each pocket because I slid them in the middle of another tube. I'd rather have more space for paper and less pockets in the middle because I don't need that many bows and ribbons .
I'd also like it to be a bit bigger (mega rolls bump up against my shelf when I hang this on the closet rod) and a bit easier to put together. It's kinda tricky to get the cardboard inserts in to the pockets without smooshing them; if they were plastic that would improve this product immensely. I bought a coffee table from Ikea the same day as I bought this product and the coffee table was easier and took less time to assemble.
It is a great idea and it does a reasonably good job but I think it could be better with a little more consumer input.
Customer Review: This thing is great
Summary: 5 Stars
I buy way too much wrapping paper - I think it's all the pretty colors. So my house has been a mess of paper stacked in corners, bags stuffed in the back of a closet and boxes of bows. Thankfully, I found this product.
The organizer is super space-efficient - you hang it in your closet and it takes about the same amount of space as a winter coat. There are compartments for paper, bows, ribbon, scissors, tape, bags and flat paper. Even completely full (as mine is), it's sturdy and holding up fine.
However, it's not going to hold EVERYTHING. The description says "up to 12 rolls," but I was only able to fit 8 large size rolls of wrapping paper. I still give it five stars, though, because who really needs more than 8 rolls of wrapping paper?
Bottom line, this product is so much better than the plastic organizers you can buy at stores like Wal-Mart or Target. I plan to buy some for family members as gifts this Christmas.
Customer Review: Missing parts and cheaply made
Summary: 1 Stars
I had the previous model. It wery well made with fabric netting, and I love it. Needed one more.
Found it is now made only in plastic.
Ordered it, Amazon sent it quickly. The thing looks and feels like a cheap thing. I would need to use a hair dryer to soften the plastic compartments into shape ( or hang it outside on a hot day).
BUT HERE IS THE REALLY BIG PROBLEM.
IT IS MISSING THE CARDBOARD STIFFENERS THAT THIS CHEAP VERSION NEEDS TO MAKE THE PLASTIC COMPARTMENTS HAVE A USABLE SHAPE.
Yeah, assembly is required. BUT THE STIFFENERS ARE NOT IN THE PACKAGE.
So I notified Amazon I needed a replacement. The new one arrived lightning quick.
IT HAS NO STIFFENERS EITHER.
The item is useless and I have had it.
So I am just returning it for a refund. I cannot see re-ordering the item. Obviously a batch of these things was shipped without the needed pieces.
I am not a happy camper.
Customer Review: Cheap material and poorly designed
Summary: 1 Stars
I really loved the idea of this item. I purchased this item after loving the Jokari Gift Bag Organizer, White and wanted it's sister product!. I was very disappointed with the hanging gift wrap organizer. First of all, it was much smaller than I had imagined. But that's my own fault for not paying closer attention to the dimensions. Next, The plastic was cheap and flimsy. Finally, the whole thing was just poorly designed. I placed about 6 rolls of paper (3 on each side), and the whole thing wobbled and hung lopsided. Even the hanger seemed like it was strained from my measly 6 rolls of paper. I can't imaging using it for 12 rolls of paper, as the description claims that it can. I ended up returning it, and purchasing a tall plastic storage container by sterilite to stand in the corner of my closet to hold my gift wrap.
