Crazy fail. The length is greater than 60 centimeters, which is (worldwide!! :P) the standard depth of closets. I judge that design-wise it doesn't take much imagination to realize that someone should take this into account... In any case, I threw it away: due to its design (mounting method) it can't be used elsewhere either (e.g. in some storage room) and generally it's 'bulky'. I would give it one star but it's two because the build quality is good.
