These dividers are also ideal for bulky items such as towels and linens. They are 12 inches high and slide easily over standard shelves up to 7/8 inch thick.Promising review: I love these! They are snugly placed over my shelf, so they won't move or shift. Handbags are too many for me and they have made a mess of my closet shelf. Because I don't have much closet space, my options for where and how to store them are limited. This was the best solution. I'm planning to buy more sweaters when I get around the idea of rearranging shelves. BarbraGenieAmazon offers a $11.99+ set of 2 (available in bronze or platinum)
