Q: How should I secure DIY home office built-ins to the wall?

• <div><p>When you are securing your DIY home office built-ins to the wall, you should start by<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm"> locating the wall studs</a>. You'll then want to use long screws to attach the cabinets, shelves, and bookcases directly to the wall studs. Your built-ins will be far too heavy to attach to the drywall alone by using anchors.</p></div>

Q: What type of wood is best for closet shelves?

• <div><p>Plywood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), and solid wood are all popular options for closet shelving. Plywood and solid wood are sturdy and ideal for extended shelves or heavy items. MDF is a budget-friendly choice for light to moderate storage, but it can sag under heavy weight if not adequately supported. Wire shelving is another alternative that allows airflow, making it especially useful in humid spaces such as laundry rooms or basements.</p></div>

Q: Are books heavier than clothes?

• <div><p>Yes, books are typically heavier than clothes, unless you have a collection exclusively of paperbacks or comic books. That&rsquo;s why packing lots of books warrants careful planning and consideration. Consider packing up your reading collection first to determine whether you need to downsize it before loading it into your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-moving-truck.htm">moving truck</a>.</p></div>

Q: What's the best wood for closet drawers?

• <div><p>Plywood offers excellent stability and strength for drawer construction. Baltic birch plywood provides a premium appearance, while standard hardwood plywood offers good value. Solid wood works well but requires more attention to grain direction and seasonal movement.</p></div>

Q: What is the standard size of a walk-in closet?

• <div><p>A standard walk-in closet has dimensions of 7 feet by 10 feet at a minimum and an average of 100 square feet. Remember that the dimensions of the closet aren&rsquo;t necessarily the usable space. This means that a 100-square-foot walk-in closet with shelves on each wall and an island may only have a walkable area of 50 square feet or less. Make sure you consider the effect of additions when you plan the room&mdash;mockups are a great idea. </p></div>

"The owner and installers were very professional, and had great communication throughout the process. They came up with functional designs that didn’t cost a fortune and look beautiful. These closets made such a big difference! They did the walk in closet in the primary bedroom and our entryway closet. We liked those so much that we ended up doing both of our sons’ closets and laundry room two months later! I am a Realtor, and I have been referring them to all of my clients!
