Clothing and storage, elfa?

Does anyone have any experience of elfa clothing storage systems,
Or Indeed other companies.
It goes against the grain for me to look at this sort of solution but we're considering all options before making a decision. We have three spaces to look at in the first instance. Two are quite straight forward and I feel can be dealt with much more simply. One is a compact ( narrow and deep) space which I am grudgingly open to considering a more modern approach to.
There also is a cupboard maid. Both look neater that ikea cupboard solutions. I've seen some nifty expanding trouser storage in some searches I wouldn't get in my preferred old style type of storage, and a couple of ideas I wouldn't have thought of. The number of movable parts and weight these parts might take worry me a little though.
Any one any long term experience of this kind of wardrobe system?
Or repairing them!?

Yes I have Elfa in my wardrobes and in 2 hall cupboards in my current house. I also had it in a walk-in wardrobe in my previous house. I love it. It's really easy to fix and very flexible to reconfigure when your needs change.0

Thanks. Is it very sturdy? We have a tendency to overload hanging space in particular.0 -
Yes it's very sturdy. Just be sure to follow Elfa's recommendations for the spacing of the supports for the shelves and rails. The fittings in the walk-in in our old house served us for over 20 years and when we packed and moved out they were as good as new.0
