I just shared my thoughts about the Lenfest product in this Weekly Round-Up (see No. 3). The 'spilled stuff' pitch hasn't worked in the past, and I am not a big fan of organization items.
Comparing the two, I think Lenfest clearly has the better product and offer, including a proven bonus item. Of course, if this ever became a retail duel, Tristar would have an edge. But thinking about the players that would be involved, it would never come to that. (Nice to be able to write that these days!)
And yes, Tristar is recycling that name. The original Hook 'N Hang was a closet organizer tested in late 2008.
