While my girlfriend was packing for her move last week, she began develop a touch of buyer’s remorse (or renter’s) about her new apartment. Although it is in a better location and has more light, it is a touch smaller than her old place. When she got stressed, I took some advice from my brother Dan and threw money at the problem. I decided to give her a custom closet to ease her mind.
I intended to pick the pieces myself at The Container Store, but a clerk convinced me to talk to a “Closet Specialist” and sent me out into the store with a beeper to wait until one is available. I was skeptical, but the pleasantly surpised. My specialist was friendly and helped me design a kick-ass closet. The cool part is that they cut the pieces to size to optimize the space. They also walk you through installation (not that I needed it, I’m real handy) and deliver the pieces.
In a town where space is a premium, the amount of extra storage the organizers give you is well worth the expense. The whole system was reasonably priced and only took me a few hours to assemble.
