Is your product made of particle board? Our product is made of plywood which carries a better weight load and performs better in the garage or any place that may have dampness.
What colors does your product come in? Before we created Real Closet we researched the industry and found that most existing closet companies had a very light maple and a dark burgundy or dark brown. In the door / molding and cabinet industry in the last 10 years the most popular wood species have been cherry or maple in a medium finish. Real Closet decided to launch our line with our own color that looks like cherry or maple in a medium finish that matches most existing houses. This color also has enough grey in it to compliment darker woodwork as well.
How does your system compare in price to closets in the big retail stores? If you compare ours to a comparable wood grain pattern we are just a little more. The fact that we are plywood, green, healthy, real wood edges and wider span shelving, this actually makes Real Closet a much better value.
Does your system come with an installation packet or instructions? The installation packet includes all the screws and parts needed to install including a magnetic tip holder the tips needed and the drill bits. (The customer needs to have a drill, level, saw and tape measure). The installation packet has a few pages of written instructions and this website has detailed videos of all segments of the installation.
Does your system hang or sit on top of the floor? Neither, our system is unlike any other existing system. The partitions uniquely fit between 2 maple rails that have 5MM slots in them. The uprights have our own metal brackets applied that slide freely in the rails that are applied to your wall. We feel that sitting on top of a foundation rail is stronger than hanging off of a rail.
How deep is your system? Real closet is available in 12” and 16” depths. We feel that the 12” fits better in most closets that are 24” deep allowing you more space to reach up and over shelving to the next space than the 14” that others offer. The 16” works well in linen closets allowing you to stand a broom or vacuum in front of the shelving. The 16” is also great for larger walk in closets to have staggered depth towers. The 16” depth is also where we add dovetailed drawers stacks.
