Even Carpenters Love Prefabricated Closet Kits

By Margaret Adams


They were initially marketed to professional organizers and housewives in mix-and-match units they found at container stores or discount shopping centers. Remodeling programs on television put the kit into the general consciousness. In little time even contractors were signing up to buy prefabricated closet kits.

They provide a reasonably affordable method of organizing storage space. This is especially important for very small homes, or older homes which frequently have inadequate closets. One can get them in sets of various sizes, with various cubicles, hanging areas, or shoe slots available.

Since they are modular, they can be put together in various ways, or even changed at the whim or need of the user. Pieces either stack or snap, depending on what medium they are made of. In fact, even if a person screws the kit to the wall, it can still be removed, changed, or moved to a new location.

Manufacturing housing giants were the first to really implement the idea. They were able to utilize the plastic-on-metal, bracketed style by having the back brackets manufactured to specifications that matched the very cookie-cutter type dwellings they build. Not only that, but these are lightweight enough that they could make a better closet without exceeding the overall weight of the structure.

The first view Americans had of the stacking cube style was created on-site in most of home-improvement programs. It did not take long before someone began mass-producing the exact same thing out of particle board. These first sets were a hit with people who wanted to have better use of space without spending a fortune to rebuild space in a home they did not own.

Within the construction industry, manufactured housing has always presented new ways of putting homes together well before the stick-built housing market does. In fact, it took contractors two decades to pick up on the idea of bathrooms with garden tubs, and many people purchased these homes for that reason alone. They did not take so long to pick up on this new fad, and now one could hardly find a new home without closets being wall-to-wall modular organization.

In fact, many of the particle board storage cube kits people put in their living rooms, offices, and home libraries were first presented in those home improvement shows. As the average person has changed in their personal tastes in furniture, these ultra modern and functional options are becoming the norm. Such styles make better use of limited living space, which is a selling point for young people who adhere to a style known as minimalism.

Anyone paying attention to the way many tiny homes are being put together will see these being used there too. Both the wooden stacking cubes as well as the plastic-coated metal bracket sets have been used in the construction of these dwellings. The metal style can even be found in a greater variety of colors to please a wider selection of people.
