Tools and Hardware Reviews of Suncast GO3216 Golf Organizer
Customer Review: Not as sturdy as illustrated in photo
Summary: 1 Stars
I received the Suncast Organizer via UPS. The item had adequate packaging with Styrofoam, and was shrink wrapped, so it was secure enough to prevent most damage in transit.
It took me about 30 minutes to assemble, and the two supplied allen wrenches that came with the screws and nuts were sufficient to assemble the item.
The assembly wasn't as easy as I had hoped. You need to line up the holes and put all the screws in, and sometimes they weren't lining up, and that required a little bit of force to tweak and manipulate the alignment. Definitely can use two people to assemble the unit, and it would be much easier.
As I took the plastic wrapping off, and began assembling the pieces, I noticed that almost all the meshing on the panels were visibly damaged. The mesh material is very fine and delicate, and can be easily punctured and dented with little force or effort. Furthermore, the front brace was bent. I was able to straighten it out, but nevertheless, it was disappointing to see how flimsy the metal was.
A bracket, which holds the middle shelf, was also broken off, making the middle shelf unusable (like missing a a leg on a chair or table). It is made from really poor quality metal that is extremely bendable, and the brackets look like they were glued on. You figure an item that will house golf equipment would be sturdier.
The organizer was so tweaked that one of the footpads needed to be screwed half way out to keep the unit level on the floor.
Overall, I was very disappointed with the quality and workmanship of this item, especially having paid $70 for it.
Amazon.com is sending me a replacement at no charge, so hopefully when I get that one, I'll add another review. Thank goodness for Amazon.com's customer service.
By the way, I called them, instead of doing the return/exchange online. They also emailed me a free shipping label.
The one that will be returned can be used as scrap metal.
Customer Review: Awesome buy, final product, and service, with one concern
Summary: 5 Stars
The shipping notification was the fastest I've ever seen on Amazon. I received a shipping email confirmation in less than 2 hours with this product and recieved it just as fast.
Granted as the rest of the reviews have stated the organizer is better to put together with 2 people. The directions are easy to understand and decently well written to say the least. I got the organizer put together in atleast 45 Minutes. The base and back were the biggest pain, because you had to line up the holes and you can't lay them flat because the side panels cause a space and the base mesh gets in the way. Still it's an easy item to put together.
My main concern was the Mesh and the Metal quality, there was a really small part of the mesh that was damaged on the base but it wasn't a problem and not even noticeable, so I can't complain about it really seeing as how it didn't affect the organizer, it's structural integrity, and it didn't look broken or shaby when trying to look for it. Like I said it wasn't even noticeable. The metal needed to be moved around alittle to get it to fit right, but again nothing was damaged, unbalanced, or affected by it. My concern was that the mesh and metal should be of better quality / stronger.
After all is said and done and put together the organizer was sturdy and fit solid. When I stepped back and looked at the final product with all of my golf equipment on it, it looks really professional and clean. So I would deffinatly suggest this product for the price, product, and look.
The organizer fits my bag, bag stand attachment, and whelled caddy cart with ease. The top shelf is great if you have a large supply of golf balls. The rest of the shelves are great if you have Golf Shoes and other items.
Like I said it's a great product and it makes everything look professionaal and clean.
Customer Review: Sturdy golf organizer with room for just about everything!
Summary: 5 Stars
So I also read other buyers' reviews and for the most part I think they were accurate. The organizer came in a sturdy, well packaged box. Mine was basically free of any damage (maybe a small scratch or dent to the mesh sides but pretty insignificant).
The instructions are pretty sparse but you can figure it out easily enough if you lay everything out and read through the 3 pages before starting. I assembled it alone and it wasn't the easiest thing to do - a second set of hands would have been helpful. But I DID do it alone in about 50 minutes. One lesson learned that I highly suggest: don't tighten any of the screws too much as you're assembling the base & sides, just enough to keep it together. This gives you some slack as you add and align the other pieces. Tighten everyhting AFTER you've assembled all the body parts.
One small complaint: each piece has a # and, I think, there's supposed to be a small sticker on each part with that number on it. Mine was missing some and - of course - I did end up using the wrong back panel the first time I assembled the base. A small issue that was corrected pretty quickly but something to bear in mind before you start.
The organizer looks good, fits in my spare room nicely and, most important, it holds a lot of stuff! I neatly placed 4 pairs of shoes in the two lower shelves (no, not side by side, stacked on top of each other), a few spare towels, accessories, tools and about 4 dozen balls in the top compartment. Now I don't think I'd call it a 2 bag organizer exactly, certainly not if you have Cart Bags only. It probably does fit 2 small carry bags however. But again, I don't consider that a complaint; if you read the dimensions before purchasing you should be able to tell if your bags will fit.
All in all I am very satisfied with this item and would recommend it for use in either a spare room or garage.
Customer Review: Pretty much as described
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, I like it, but there were a few flaws, and it's not quite as useful as it could be ... thus four stars instead of five.
I put it in the corner of my garage and it looks nice. I have a cart bag and a few extra clubs, umbrellas, etc., all of which sit quite nicely in the left side.
I can get two pairs of shoes in the bottom shelf if I stack them atop each other. Only one pair in the second shelf, but I only have three pairs, so that's just right. The third shelf is good for golf balls ... room for several dozen. The top shelf will serve well as a general junk hamper because it has a bottom and four sides.
All of that is well and good, and it would have been nearly perfect if it would have also had room for extra stuff ... hats, towels, extra head covers ... and that sort of stuff. I may put some hooks on the wall above the unit for that.
Assembly was fine ... no problems, and no extra tools required (two hex keys included). The gage of the metal is adequate, but I think it should have been a bit better for something that costs $70+, and there is a crease in the mesh in one area (alhtough it is not noticeable when in use) ... otherwise, I found the product quality (fit, finish, etc.) to be good. One of the pieces of foam trim was not installed correctly so I'll have to get some double-sided tape to reinstall it, but I consider that a very minor issue.
I had considered building one out of wood but decided to take the easy way out. All-in-all, I'm happy I have this unit, but if I had it to do all over again I would probably build one so that I could get exact what I want for the same or less money.
Customer Review: Very Satisfied Customer
Summary: 5 Stars
When ordering the Suncast G03216 Golf Organizer I was concerned about comments from other customers stating that it was a two man job to put the Organizer together. I put the Organizer together in about an hour by myself. I put the Organizer together on a waist high work bench which I felt made the job alot easier. The Organizer is alot sturdier and heavier than the picture shows. I feel I made a very good purchase which was exactly what I needed to keep my golf equipment together in my garage. The Organizer was received within a few days of the order which was what was promised in the ad. The weight of the package was quite heavy which to me was a positive sign indicating that the Organizer is made of sturdy metal. I highly recommend this product, it's looks good, it's very sturdy and easy to put together.
