Visions of order.
We've been hearing good things about Easy Closets.com. Word on the street is that the quality rivals California Closets at a third of the cost.
Using Easy Closet's online tools you configure your space according to the specific needs and constraints of your project. Add drawers, bars, shelves, hanging units, etc. to your heart's content, imagining a place for each and every thing that's currently languishing deep in a pile somewhere. Then sit tight and wait. Easy Closets will package up all the components and mail them to you.
Order will be yours...soonish. The catch/brilliance of this system is that you do the installation yourself, so you have to get past that hurdle if you're serious about getting a deal.

If you're not handy you can always bring in an expert. Friends of ours who are supremely DIY-challenged hired a handyman they found through Cole Hardware's referral service, and even with the cost of his labor their project totaled half of California Closet's quote. (They know because they started with a CC quote). Easy Closets may also be able to refer you to someone in your area who has experience with their products.

On the other hand, it may be worth it to try it yourself: we've heard tell of a San Francisco couple who spent a weekend installing their own components and were so proud of themselves that they topped it off with cocktails -- in their sexy new closet.

I love it, my dream closet designed by me.
Perfect!

Hi Anne, Please rest assured: editorial and ad sales are totally distinct departments around here.
I've not been to the store but unless they're head and shoulders above California Closets (at similar costs) then... I'd look at Poliform.

As a California Closets design expert, I speak from personal experience when I say most of our closets are surprisingly affordable. General consensus will agree, if you are looking to reorganize your closet, you will get the most bang for your buck from California Closets in terms of quality, service and customizable luxury.
I’ve actually seen the materials from Easy Closets, and in my eyes, I can see the difference instantly. California Closets definitely offers a far more superior product and has a clear distinction in the marketplace with their exclusive luxury line, Lago™ Italian Finishes.
The experience and expertise of California Closets is second to none. We are in a league of our own.
Kudos to EasyClosets.com.
Have you ever wondered what truly exceptional customer service feels like? If you want to experience it first hand, do business with EasyClosets.com. I was initially skeptical about designing and purchasing our master bedroom closet online, but I read quite a few positive reviews from others who had very good experiences with EasyClosets.com. I decided to try them.
The first step was the closet design, all done via their extensive online design tool. It was a little tricky at first, having to download the JAVA software, and get familiar with how the design tool works. The tool lets you try as many designs as you’d like, and saves them so you can come back and work on them when you have time. After my 3rd design iteration, my wife approved, and I was ready to call and order.
This is where things get really good. I called on a Wednesday morning, went over the design with a very helpful and knowledgeable design consultant, placed the order, and received the closet two days later on Friday – unbelievable!! It came in 16 boxes, each clearly labeled with the specific contents. Box number 1 is to be opened first, and it contains a detailed set of clear instructions on how to unpack and take a full inventory, using an included inventory listing to check off against. It took me about 2 hours to get everything open, checked, and sorted. There were no errors, nothing damaged, nothing missing. The most pleasant surprise was the high quality of the hardware, from the steel track to the brushed nickel rods, as well as all the shelving support.
On Saturday, I started following the detailed installation instructions, with no confusion or misunderstandings. The track goes up first, and I was extremely careful to find and use studs for support. The trickiest part of my installation was a 7 foot tall, 14 shelf shoe unit, on a pocket door surface. It took a little extra time to find the studs that would support this very heavy unit, which also had to be cleated for stability. By the end of the day, all the track was up.
On Sunday, I started hanging the verticals and installing the cam(structural) shelves. What a pleasant surprise to have these go in with almost no effort. The European cam hardware could not be easier, or faster, to install.
At one point, though, I realized that one of the verticals should have been finished (i.e. no shelf holes showing through), because the bottom half would be visible when entering the room. I knew I would have to call and get a replacement, and wondered how the post sale experience would be. Well, sure enough, my call was received by a support rep who said “Our goal is perfection”, and immediately sent the replacement part, again 2nd day delivery, at no charge. One more call was required to replace a shelf connector that I had cut incorrectly. Even though I was willing to pay for my mistake, they again insisted on sending a replacement at no charge.
The closet is finished, my wife is happy, and my thanks go to Easyclosets.com for a fantastic experience.
I recently received and installed an easy system in my master bedroom walk-in.
My wife and I enjoyed using the online tool to create the design and found the tool easy to use and effective. We also called in to speak to a design specialist to make sure we made the right decisions. This was a good idea as the feedback we received produces a profoundly better design. My wife was particularly pleased with this area of support.
The boxes arrived three days later, even though we bought the materials on a Saturday. We could not believe how fast they were received! I followed the directions and performed a complete inventory, and must admit to being surprised to find the entire inventory was both present and accurate. The installation was completed in about 9 hours, and while I was apprehensive at first, I soon found confidence from the accuracy of the directions and the simple yet thorough way they explained the requirements.
During the installation I had occasion to call in twice to seek verification that my interpretation of the instructions was valid. The support staffer was able to quickly interpret my questions and answer them perfectly, in a way I could clearly understand.
My experience in working with easy closets was positive in every possible measure. I am completely impressed!!
EasyClosets.com rocks! My husband found them, looking for a closet organizer for our master bedroom closet. It was easy (and fun) designing the layout. The price was very reasonable. The delivery was just a few days after we submitted our order. The installation was amazingly simple. 2 weeks later, and we've designed and ordered organizers for a hall closet, and saved designs for two more bedroom closets (which we will order when the time is right for us). We are "officially" addicted to EasyClosets.
Truly a wonderful experience!
I searched on line and EasyClosets.com kept coming up in the search engines. I designed my closet, ordered it, installed it, and it looks and functions better than any custom closet I could possible get - at 30% of the price!.
Folks - this is by far the way to go. Like SAK above - I will be recommending this to my friends and neighbors (and showing it off), as well as outfitting my pantry and other closets. This is the good stuff - www.easyclosets.com!
After finding the EasyClosets.com website, my wife and I measured all of the "stuff we had packed into our closet, over the years, with the hopes we could get "most of the stuff" back into the closet once we replaced the wire shelving that was falling down.
We did an initial design online at the EasyCloset.com website and saved it. Scott from EasyClosets.com contacted us and he made a number of improvement suggestions that really turned the closet from ordinary to extraordinary. The boxes from EasyClosets came exactly when scheduled and the install was a piece of cake. My wife and I were both delighted at how professionally everything was handled from the website to the design consultation, to the delivery timing, to the packaging of the material to the instructions for installation. Many companies could learn a lesson by observing EasyClosets.com. Thanks a million. We fit all of our "stuff" in the new closet with an amazing amount of extra room that my wife is now anxious to fill. Than & Kathy in New Jersey
I purchased an 8' reach-in closet upgrade package from easyclosets.com. Their design system was really easy to use and very accurate and precise, resulting in a install that rivals a professional built-in. More importantly easyclosets .com can build to your specs. overnight and ship the next day. Truly amazing when you think about it. Believe me, easyclosets.com delivers exactly what they advertise. You get a lot of quality for the money and the mounting system is unique and very simple to install. I did it myself in a couple short hours and it looks GREAT.

We bought a townhome last October which was finished very nicely except for the walk in closet in the master bedroom which was very generic and inefficient for our hanging and storage items. We searched online for several weeks looking at different options to remodel and upgrade our closet. Our searches kept bring us back to Easy Closets. My wife and I are retired, handy but not skilled carpenters or craftsmen by any means. However, Easycloset.com website encouraged us to give it try. We gave our Easy Closet design consultant, Deb, our closet dimensions and some basic info about our hanging and storage needs and received a detailed closet design that was just what we had visualized. After some minor alterations we placed our order. It arrived in several days from NJ to our small resort town in the Rocky Mountains. The step-by-step instructions for our specific installation were easy to follow and we completed the entire install in a day. We had a few questions and found the phone customer support to be immediately available and helpful to answer our questions as we were working. We are extremely pleased with the outcome, which is high quality and looks like a custom professional install at a price well below what we would have expected to pay to have it done locally. Easy Closets exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to our friends.

NO CONTEST!!
The banter about Easy Closets.com vs. California is just wasted breath. Our new Master Closets were so easy to install, fit our space as if there were a professional in my bedroom with a tape measure running a saw, and yes they were one third the cost of the CC quote that we had.
The woman who wrote above about being able to tell the difference btwn Easy Closets and CC works for CC!! Are you serious?
Easy Closets.com was also less money than the quote we had from a local contractor who would have installed another brand, inferior quality system.
Cost, fit and high quality. The staff at Easy Clostes.com is always pleasant and very qualified. Do yourself a favor and go to their site.
When my husband and I moved into our new home we first got a quote from California Closets for our master bedroom walk-in closet. It was so expensive that my husband began researching other options and he discovered the EasyClosets website. Even though we were a bit skeptical about ordering online, we fell in love with the ease of using the website, the helpful and pleasant conversations with the designer and the price which is so much less than CC that we took a chance. Wow, were we impressed and delighted. All the parts came exactly when we asked, and my brother and husband installed the system in a few hours. My brother, an experienced and perfectionist builder, could not stop raving about how well everything worked together and how good the quality was. We loved the result so much that we used the EasyClosets system to finish our laundry room and our hall closet. We show off the results to our friends and family who all ooh and aaah in envy.
We're sad that we only have two more closets in our house to finish and are already trying to figure out how we will "kick" our EasyClosets habit.
As for being able to tell the difference between EasyClosets and California closets, I agree with ChipM--Are you serious?? The only difference we can tell is that EasyClosets is less expensive and much more fun!
Easy Closets are Awesome!
We just installed four closets with Easy Closets, ordered from EasyClosets.com. They are SO easy to install and they look professionally done! We are so happy we've used Easy Closets to design and install our closets! I recommend this awesome service!
Thanks for posting the creative pictures of closets. I think I got some good ideas from looking at them. Great work.
My wife hated the wire form shelves in her closet and I did a complete retrofit with Easyclosets. Closet design was done for free by their Designer based on the closet dimensions and my wife's preferences. After a pleasant phone conversation we finalized the details and bought it. The next day, all was shipped via UPS and it arrived in good order in two days. Hardest assembly required cutting the steel hanger bars to lenght and attaching them to the walls. The rest was easy using a power drill with Phillips screwdriver bits. Highly recommend their product and customer service.
We are THRILLED we are with our new closets from easyclosets.com! I designed on Tuesday, my design was reviewed with minor suggestions by Wednesday morning, I ordered Wednesday at 3:30pm and 29 boxes (1600 pounds!) were delivered by Friday at noon.
I started building on Friday evening. My husband and I worked all day Saturday
and I kept going until 2am. We put in the finishing touches on Sunday, then populated the closet with clothes and stuff - and we still have plenty of room!
We were impressed with the quality of product, excellent instructions and relative ease of installation (we are both pretty handy, but the only part that was tricky was leveling things in our 110 year old house - not the fault of easyclosets.com for sure!).
The only reason it took so long was that we had so much to do. The closet is absolutely beautiful and it was the last thing left to do
in our newly restored (from a fire in 2010) home. Next summer I will order more from easyclosets.com to spruce up the laundry room.
I checked out other closet companies, but I found some too pushy, others unresponsive and some had products (wire shelving) that I didn't want. But, I have to say, the Java closet designer was the thing that hooked me - that and the VERY quick turnaround after I submitted my design for review!
All of that said, if you don't have any tools, realize that you need tools to do the job. I used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade because I hate using hacksaws. That method cut the metal wall brackets like they were butter!
An excellent experience overall and generally just a lot of fun to install! (note that I do like building things)
