Closet Built Ins

Custom closet built ins are a more expensive option than some of the do-it-yourself closet systems, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Here are some tips for your built-in-closet system:

1.  Mix woods.  This can add interest and flair to the space.

2. Design your closet space with your specific needs in mind.  Think about the following:

  • Baskets and hampers
  • Rod and lift systems
  • Drawer and shelving
  • Shoe racks and cubbies
  • Jewelry and drawer inserts
  • Tie and belt racks
  • Ironing boards
  • Retractable mirrors

3.  Determine the type of material you want to use for your built in closet.  There are several types with varying price points:

  • Solid Wood: Options include pine, oak, cedar, maple, cherry, birch
  • Particle Board: Also known as fiberglass; an engineered pressed wood product
  • MDF: Engineered wood more dense than particle board
  • Melamine: Contains particle board or MDF with a melamine laminate to look like real wood
  • Plywood: Layers of wood glued together; Very few closet companies offer plywood.

What to Ask Closet Organizer Companies:

  1. How long in business?
  2. What is your warranty?
  3. Is there plastic used in the hardware?  [You want metal parts]
  4. What is the standard shelf depth? [Deeper depth 14″ to 16″ preferred]
  5. How is the drawer constructed? [ Construction of drawers is a big differentiator in quality]
  6. Does your installation include tearing out the old closet?
  7. Will you do wall repairs and touch up painting?
