I have a relatively small upstairs closet (4'8" x 30") that I had plumbed for my washer and dryer and a small countertop.

I have a few questions:

1. How much space above the counter clear to the first shelf? I have 23" in my plan but want to know your opinion

2. How deep to make the shelves above for detergent, baskets, etc.

3. How much clearance between shelves.

If you have opinions, let them fly!
