Q: Can I save money with wire shelves instead of wood shelves?

• <div><p>You can budget a little less money for how to build a closet with wire shelves than with wood shelves. Some people don&rsquo;t like the aesthetics that wire shelves provide, though, meaning they&rsquo;ll gladly spend a little more to add wood shelves to the build. If you decide to buy pre-made wire shelves instead of building custom-sized wood shelves, you&rsquo;ll be restricted in the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/closet-shelving-dimensions.htm">closet shelving dimensions</a> you can use.</p></div>

Q: What height should wire shelves be in a closet?

• <div><p>Fortunately, there are no hard and fast rules or regulations regarding the height of closet shelving. However, the typical height for a single closet shelf with a hanging bar is 70 inches from the floor. For a double-hanging system, use 84 to 85 inches from the floor for the top one and 42 inches for the lower.</p></div>

Q: Are design consultations part of the closet building process?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer design consultations to optimize space and functionality. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: Should books be packed spine up or down?

• <div><p>You should primarily pack books upright in boxes. But if you are trying to squeeze books into every last space of the box, you can pack sturdy paperback books with their spines down in the box. You can pack large books flat, as they take up more space anyway.</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>

I've used them two or three times. The experience has been good overall. The closet door didn't stay fixed and his explanation was that it was old, which I thought was lame. I will use them again. They are middle of the road price wise and they generally do a good job.
