I’m pretty sure all these systems are interchangeable when it comes to actually putting the hardware on the vertical supports because of the size and spacing of the holes on the vertical standards.

I would really not feel comfortable using the ClosetMaid stuff for anything very heavy. I’m looking at the pictures of ClosetMaid now online and I think I can see why – there is something about the way that the notch on the Elfa track lets the tracks hang right against the wall that I think is superior.

Had a couple of questions based off of your suggestions:

“…You can also use your own wood or MDF or whatever and drill your own holes and then use them with the Elfa hardware, or buy off-brand hardware that works with the tracks at various hardware stores (highly recommend using the Elfa horizontal and vertical)…”

Have you found any off brand brackets that fit the Elfa standards( verticals) ( Closet Maid/Rubbermaid etc) ?
I know that you recommend Elfa verticals but have you tried standards ( verticals) from other brands that fit the Elfa hang rail (horizontal) ? Elfa verticals start at 60 “ and needed half the size for my project … ( 3 shelves 30” long 60” wide )
Know they would cut them, but …

👍🏾👍🏾 for the in-depth info and observations!

I think probably you’d have to double up so that you have them at the right intervals and you wouldn’t be able to necessarily have them on the same horizontal row because of spacing differences and slight differences in the mounts. I assume that most of the hardware store alternatives to this (Menard’s has a store brand) would work with the same track and there is some variation between what is available. For clothes Elfa seems superior. In my new house I have Elfa top tracks and vertical posts with brackets and shelves from Menards and it saved quite a bit of money, I should probably do a new post :)
