My wife actually asked me to pull out the shelves and to install an adjustable closet hanging rod (it uses pressure) and for extra support, one support hook in the middle. She then bought 2 long hanging shoe organizers which we simply placed onto the rod. Super convenient and the compartments are perfect for clothes, snacks, nick nacks, etc. and things don't fly around or get mixed up. Best is you can just pull it all out, stuff included if you want.
