I think the price is pretty reasonable considering how sturdy the products are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-choose-a-closet-system#post-2430819 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 11:37:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2430819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents made sure to leave room for a dresser and a mirror in their walk in closet. It looks great! Also it breaks it up so not every wall is built ins. I believe they also did not have it go all the way to the floor because they wanted to be able to vacuume and if flooding happened they didn't want the wood to absorb moisture </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-choose-a-closet-system#post-2430725 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:44:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2430725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elfa is my personal favorite and annually between Dec-Feb they go on sale for both the system and installation. </p> <p>We looked into local closet installers, the ones that advertise in home mags as well. What I wasn't keen on was how dark our closet would be with solid wood all over it. The price waso comparable to Elfa. As much as I like Ikea's Pax system it can become dark just like the local ones. I think the Closet Factory is a franchise, but that's one vendor that gave us a quote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-choose-a-closet-system#post-2430706 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:36:17 +0000 BandDmommy 2430706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use ELFA systems in our closets and love it! The Container Store has a new upscale line of closets that is beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-choose-a-closet-system#post-2430697 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:34:17 +0000 avivoca 2430697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I could splurge on it, I'd have my closet designed by a closet installer. The previous owners used a system from Home Depot/Lowe's and it's very inefficient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-choose-a-closet-system#post-2430695 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:33:22 +0000 Mamaof2 2430695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went with a local closet installer - he drew up plans based on what I wanted - lots of shoe storage, drawers, and racks for long dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-choose-a-closet-system#post-2430688 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:32:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2430688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def look at what's in your closet now and what you wish you'd have for them! Our contractor did our closet, I loved that he put in a high bar for dresses! And tons of pull out drawers to contain messes haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-choose-a-closet-system#post-2430676 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:28:03 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2430676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are renovating a house, and we are starting from scratch in the master closet. It's a good-sized closet that DH and I will share. We looked at the container store, which was great except the price. IKEA seems to have similar products but much cheaper. I'm also looking at lowes and Menards. Have you used any of these? What would you recommend? If you were designing a closet, is there anything special you would do? </p>
