The installers were so professional and did a great job and cleaned everything up. Very happy with the final product! **★★★★★ — David Gustin, Sept. 2019** > I could not be more pleased with the design and construction of the work done in my home by A Better Closet! The finished product exceeded my expectations, the quality of the product is exceptional. The installation was done quickly and the installers were highly professional, protecting the flooring and walls. I strongly recommed A Better Closet to anyone needing to improve and maximize the starage capability of their closets. **★★★★★ — Lera W, June 2019** > I am very pleased with my new master bedroom closet. The owner gave us excellent suggestions to maximize our space. They were on time and completed the job in the estimated window of time I was quoted. The installation was clean and organized. I found all of the employees I interacted with to be professional and courteous. I will use this company again in the future. **★★★★★ — P Davis, Dec. 2018** > We couldn't be happier with our closet. A Better Closet was very helpful with the design and completed the work in a timely and professional manner. They give you a good value for a quality product. **★★★★★ — HU-936046503, Nov. 2018** > We were very happy with the quality and timeliness of the work. They were very responsive to our needs. We would recommend them to others. **★★★★★ — Heather Harris, Nov. 2018** > Love, love, love what they do! I bet our master closet space has doubled or more. Robert has great ideas. They can design and install quickly. We went on to do do our laundry room which added space an organization and now just finished our garage. Everything has a place and everything is tucked away. It's dreamy! **★★★★★ — R Brown, Oct. 2018** > Outstanding company! Expert craftsmanship and some of the best customer service I have ever seen. Robert came in gave us a great estimate on adding drawers to the kitchen cabinets and re-shelving our pantry. I have yet to see a better price in the river region. When the items were installed they took the time to make sure we were happy with the way everything was installed. They also worked with us to adjust the pantry shelving to the sizes of the groceries we had. I highly recommend these folks for your closet or kitchen cabinet needs. **★★★★★ — Laura Thuirer, Aug. 2018** > I just LOVE my new closets and cabinet. Both of my closets are small and had lots of wasted space, but Robert made use of every possible square inch to give me more storage. The two men who did the installation were courteous and on time. They left the areas they worked in cleaner than they were before they started. I was also pleasantly surprised that the cost was very reasonable. I contacted Robert on a Friday morning, he came to the house that afternoon and the work was done the following Tuesday. I would highly recommend A Better Closet! **★★★★★ — Mallory Green, June 2018** > Love our closet! My family and I have used this company every closet we have redone. They have done a wonderful job and uses every part of our space efficiently. **★★★★★ — emilynstewart, June 2018** > Robert and his son Bobby are awesome! They did an incredible job and put together a beautiful closet for us! They were very prompt with timing and quick to get the job done. Their work is 5 stars and I will be referring them to others as well as using them again myself! A Better Closet stands true to its name and provided us with a wonderful service!! I highly recommend! **★★★★★ — mhaaralabyrd, May 2018** > Beautiful job & worth every penny. Added resale value, organization, & storage space to my home.

A: This pantry is 64" wide and 96" deep. **Q: what color is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: That is the "Caramel Apple" finish and very popular. **Q: Laundry baskets** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the brand of the laundry baskets? Thanks! A: The baskets are from Hafele. **Q: Where do you get this ironing board?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sidelines Inc. is the manufacturer.

The units are 14" deep and 88" tall. **Q: LOVE the shelving in this pantry! What are the closet dimensions?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am using a closet for a pantry in my home that looks very similar to this one.

A: That closet is approximately 50" wide X 23" deep. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
