Four things behind every rod.
Your reach
A comfortable top rod sits where you can lift a hanger without stretching.
Garment drop
Shirts, dresses and coats each need a different clear drop below the rod.
The floor
Long garments must clear the floor, and short ones must clear the rod below.
Who else uses it
Kids and shared closets may want lower rods or a pull-down.

Can you design around slopes, corners and odd shapes?
Yes. Sloped ceilings, corners, niches and narrow doors all have solutions: angled shelves, short hanging, corner units and pull-outs. We measure carefully and draw it to fit the space you have.
Is a custom closet better than a kit?
A kit is quick and economical for simple spaces. A custom system is drawn to your exact room and wardrobe, with better materials, drawers that glide and a finish that matches the house, so it usually fits better and lasts longer.
Can I see a design before it is built?
Yes. A plan and finish choices are shown before anything is made, and 3D views make it easy to picture the result. We adjust the design with you until it feels right.
Want the heights built in?
We set every rod, shelf and drawer to your reach and your clothes, in writing.
