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 difference between a reach-in pantry and a walk-in pantry?

• <div><p>A &quot;reach-in pantry&quot; is a smaller, cabinet-style pantry that allows you to grab items by simply reaching inside. On the other hand, a &quot;walk-in pantry&quot; is like a closet or small room that offers a larger space that you can physically enter to get your food. Walk-in pantries allow for more customizable shelving. A reach-in pantry is usually around 5 feet wide by 2 feet deep, while a walk-in pantry is closer to 5 feet by 5 feet or larger. </p></div>

Q: Can I build a closet myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for basic designs. Professional services ensure proper construction and space optimization.</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: Does it take longer to remodel or build a new custom closet?

• <div><p>Although you can complete a closet frame in just an afternoon, finishing the entire closet will take a few days to a week. However, that&rsquo;s still not as much as the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/average-days-for-closet-remodel.htm">average time it takes to remodel a closet</a>, which can take anywhere from several weeks to more than a month. That&rsquo;s because you also have to consider the time it will take to demolish the existing space, plan a new design, order materials, and actually install it. </p></div>

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."

Closets questions, answered by experts

Yes, books are typically heavier than clothes, unless you have a collection exclusively of paperbacks or comic books. That’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 moving truck.

A "reach-in pantry" is a smaller, cabinet-style pantry that allows you to grab items by simply reaching inside. On the other hand, a "walk-in pantry" is like a closet or small room that offers a larger space that you can physically enter to get your food. Walk-in pantries allow for more customizable shelving. A reach-in pantry is usually around 5 feet wide by 2 feet deep, while a walk-in pantry is closer to 5 feet by 5 feet or larger.

DIY is possible for basic designs. Professional services ensure proper construction and space optimization.

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.

Although you can complete a closet frame in just an afternoon, finishing the entire closet will take a few days to a week. However, that’s still not as much as the average time it takes to remodel a closet, which can take anywhere from several weeks to more than a month. That’s because you also have to consider the time it will take to demolish the existing space, plan a new design, order materials, and actually install it.
