I hired Closets by Design for a custom 6 year old's closet. They had a promotion and the catalogue…read morelooked promising. Plus- my interior designer referred them as a moderate priced closet shop. The first designer (a young woman- seemed inexperienced) rendered a design that was fine as far as I could tell- but left a ton of negative space (e.g. 5-6 feet) above the cabinatry. When the installers did the job, the drawers bumped up against the doors- so a full redesign was required. On the 2nd design, the final option was TOO HIGH for my daughter to reach much of the hanging + shelving. The job cost $2,200 with little to no quality control or oversight of the design process. The company uses HAND DRAWN designs (haven't integrated to digital design tools) and it was nearly impossible to verify the design was right. For this kind of hassle- I recommend going to IKEA a working with a specialist there. You'll save both time AND money.

We have two toddlers and a second grader, and after a long day we stopped to grab snacks and dinner.

The total was only $12.69, and we explained it was an honest mistake from moving fast with kids. Taking our IDs and pictures over that amount was excessive. For loyal customers, this was handled very poorly.

My experience with Closet Factory has been nothing short of a nightmare. My initial designer,…read moreMelissa, disappeared without warning or explanation. The newly assigned designer, Zena, has been nearly impossible to reach -- she routinely ignores calls and voicemails, leaving me chasing information that should have been communicated from the start. When I finally did hear back, I was met with conflicting stories, misinformation, and zero accountability regarding payments, design options, and follow-ups. To make matters worse, I was never informed that a portion of my payment hadn't been received -- something any competent company would have addressed immediately. Instead, I only found out the day of installation, while I was working. This level of negligence and disorganization is completely unacceptable. There is a total lack of communication within the team, no consistency, and no follow-through. Every step has been marked by confusion, frustration, and empty promises. It's clear this company has no respect for its clients, their time, or their homes. If you're considering Closet Factory -- don't. I gave them several opportunities to make things right, and only after I personally intervened were a few issues finally addressed. Even then, the overall experience was deeply disappointing. Whether due to poor management or internal issues, I will not consider Closet Factory again. Very poor customer service and extremely poor communication. Attached photos show how they have left the project thus far, including unleveled and uneven cabinet installation. I hope they can make things right.

I usually apply rule #4 and rule #5 to my spaces, but I am getting it all under control. Did you know that The Container Store has a design team in Custom Spaces to plan out your room and now also installs? That's what I'm talking about. The designer came out to our house and gave us a plan for two pantry closets and three clothes closets. We also did this during the Elfa 30 percent sale. The parts were shipped to our house and in a few weeks the install crew set it up. I would suggest that the installation team bring the parts to the house instead, as some parts were not delivered, and someone had to drive out to another store to get the parts. Other than that, the closets look great, but my closet is already full! Time to employ the 80/20 rule!

I have shopped The Container Store for years and they offer multiple lines of closet and storage solutions that fit many budgets, which makes it a great value for any budget. You'll find they not only offer closets, but they have a line of garage organization systems. The quality of the garage systems is spot on. Very good quality! While visiting one of the Chicago area stores, I saw they even have wooden wine racks, work from home office spaces and many more specialized custom spaces. I love their latest lighting storage solutions as well. Very innovative! Great value and a fun place to shop. The stores staff are always friendly and welcoming.

We ordered a media center and a closet organizer for our new home a total price that is in the…read more$6.000 range, for reference. Our "designer" (Patti) was not great to work with, talked a mile a minute, repeatedly spoke over us and had no follow up skills once the contract was signed. In fact, I have never heard from her again, nor have I heard from anyone from Closet Works to date to discuss this situation despite multiple requests for someone in management to call me back. Our initial install date was on December 15th, 2021. On the install date, there were MANY issues the main ones are below, but there are several more more minor issues that need to be addressed: 1. The wall and the locations of the outlets were measured incorrectly forcing the installers to do cutouts to the boards between cabinet sections to accommodate outlets. -- This renders the outlets unusable since the drawers push against the outlets, forcing us to choose a smaller drawer box. 2. Missing parts to the overall design. 3. Incorrect holes drilled in doors for the knobs, forcing us to choose a different design with credit or reorder all 4 of the doors. 4. Other design issues or incorrect parts for the media center and closet. 5. Damage by the installers to our ceiling and floor. This is only the beginning of the lack of any actual customer service and professionalism by Closet Works, their owners or leadership. Once the installers discovered these issues, they told me to "contact our designer." Which I did, and she promptly sent me to voicemail. When she did call back, she was apparently in too much of a rush to speak to me, so asked me to send her an email with all of the issues and pictures and "she would get it taken care of." Fast forward a few weeks (4 weeks to be exact), we had not heard anything. So I followed up with an email to our designer and received an email from the designer that stated "This is all my fault. I'm going to complete the order today. I've been sick then helping others sick. I'm so very sorry. " So ok, fine - I get it things happen. Two weeks later, I have still not heard anything definitive - so I called myself... I was directed to Amanda in service, who is apparently in charge of post install issues.. She informed me that she had not been made aware of any of these issues that needed to be corrected. We are now 6 WEEKS POST INITIAL INSTALLATION at this point. Amanda asked me to send pictures, make decisions about what needed to be done, which size drawers needed to be installed, etc., etc.. A point of note nobody has come back out to the house to look and see what needed to be done so if it's wrong again, that's on Closet works. I did, and guess what - I never heard from here again or any confirmation that we were moving forward. SO...here we are NOW 3 months+ post install and no resolution. We have been unable to use our TV and media center now for 3 months. But I did receive a call this week - stating they could come back on March 23rd and install / fix the items that needed to be addressed, a date that is 4+ months post install!!!! Are you serious??? I've called several times, asked to speak to a manager and never once received a call back, apology, or confirmation that they had started to fix the issues! Also, my floor and ceiling are still damaged and there has been no comment on those issues or indication of repair. It's not worth the trouble to save a few dollars, go somewhere else and save yourself the hassle.

When you tend to be cluttered and organizationally challenged, getting some help is absolutely life-changing. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and had some great ideas! Before starting work on my cluttered office, Jan spent some time talking with me about what I use most often, what things make sense to put in a different spot, and what would be best to hide/store. As we organized, she frequently checked in with me on whether I liked where things were being placed, how they looked, and whether it would be easy for me to find and use. I will say that prior to her first visit, I did go through the office and try and put "like" things together, and I got rid of a lot of stuff I didn't need. This helped us maximize our time, and hiring her was a great way to motivate me to start making changes. She also worked with what I had available, so I did not need to go out and purchase a bunch of expensive organizing systems. The great benefit to this is that once you have your area organized, you can then decide and purchase exactly what you need for the space. I already had a bunch of organizing stuff from Ikea, and it all worked just fine. I started out with an office overflowing with books, office supplies, computer supplies, and hundreds of random things that I had stacked on bookshelves because I couldn't quite figure out where they should go. The end result was an amazing transformation. Not only is it visually appealing, but everything is easy to find and use. Her methods make sense to me and now I'm organizing more areas on my own. I was so impressed that I asked her back to help me organize my laundry room, which, you guessed it, had no useable counter space, and was cluttered with every cleaning and laundry product imaginable. Basically anything in the house I didn't know what to do with ended up there. She got that room whipped into shape so fast I could not believe it. I still stand there and stare at it when I walk by, thinking, why did I wait so long to call an organizer? Her rates are very reasonable, and looking at what we accomplished in a few hours, I wish I had done this years ago! I'm already planning my next organizing project.

I thought I was pretty good at organizing until certain areas of my life seemed out of control and stressed me out--areas that overwhelmed me, such as my garage, my basement, and the paper trail of life. I hired Jennifer of JB Organizing to teach me her organizing tips and process after listening to her presentation at my local library. Jennifer gave me a plan with a list of manageable tasks to tackle and a shopping list with hyperlinks so I could quickly order the storage supplies online or have them waiting for curbside pickup. She and I met in person to survey the project and get started. Once I got the hang of things, I was able to tackle the tasks Jennifer listed for me in an app on my phone independently. Each task took less than 15 minutes. Once I got rolling and saw the progress I was making, I wanted to spend more and more time each day to finish the project. Words cannot describe my sense of satisfaction and the burden that has been lifted off my shoulders. I no longer feel the stress associated with the disorganized areas of my home. I no longer cringe every time I open the garage door. I can apply what I have learned to all areas of my life. Jennifer at JB Organizing is a master at her craft.
