Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

sorry, ezstax, i really wanted to love your product. i can definitely appreciate a good idea, especially when it's solving a common household problem, and more especially, when someone's actually gone through the execution of that idea. i first saw this product on pinterest. i was so wooed by the videos and the advertisements on the ezstax website, i immediately forwarded it to my family. but alas, when i found them on amazon (i'm a prime member, so everything is vetted through amazon first), i was surprised to find it only had 3.5 stars. what possible issues could people have with this product?? i took three things away from reading through the reviews: 1- many people said the product was too flimsy; 2- that shirts didn't lay uniformly; and 3- they wound up loving it as a paper organizer. well, 1- i didn't care if it was flimsy as long as it still did its job; 2- i'm a good folder, so wouldn't have the issue of the shirts not laying flat as shown in the pictures (also- just a tip: you can also place every-other shirt backwards to combat this problem); 3- i already have a system to organize my papers. so with my own self-inflation, i thought the feedback didn't apply to me. i received them yesterday, and i couldn't wait to take my already-neatly-folded shirts and apply them to this system. this was the result: 1- yes, i suppose, it looked a tad bit more organized, but not significantly; 2- it increased the height of the previous pile, obviously, because of the added inserts; and 3- the deal breaker- it wasn't functional. if i wanted to get a shirt in the middle, i could not lift the top ones to access it without them all sliding backwards and falling off, creating a huge mess. i would have to use two hands to lift the whole stack completely off, pull out the shirt, and replace the stack, which, is already what i used to do with my pile of shirts without the ezstax inserts. i tried putting them up against the wall to combat the sliding backwards, but it didn't help enough. so in summary, the only benefit i gained from placing my shirts in the ezstax system, was that the pile of shirts looked a little more boxy than just a plain pile of shirts. i suppose if you suffer from having piles of unfolded shirts, then this might encourage you to fold them? but i'm not even sure about that. returning :(
