## Community Q&A

**Q: What are the dimensions and cost of this storage piece? Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: 50.25x33.5 approximate size @ $3200.  Hope this helps!

**Q: Closet doors** *(in Photo Questions)*

May I ask where you got the closet doors, and if you remember, what model they are? Thank you very much for your time.

A: Sorry we no longer supply and install closet doors.  These doors were not painted, rather enhanced with acrylic.  Feel feel to email us if you'd like us to dig up the information on the original supplier at dawn@closetoutfitters.com.

**Q: wow, cool doors - where can they be purchased?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We supplied and installed these doors for the client.  See our website for lots of other door options.
