I am not a big do-it-yourselfer these days. I know the value of my time. And a lot of the do-it-yourself products lack true quality and elegance (read: cheap.)
So it wasn't a surprise to read July's Consumer Reports Magazine where they reviewed garage and closet organizing systems by California Closets, GarageTek, Elfa, Rubbermaid, ClosetMaid, Mill's Pride, Sauder, Gladiator, Shulte, Stanley, Craftsman, Coleman and Ikea's Stolmen:
"The dream of an orderly closet and a clutter-free home is very compelling. But reality intrudes: Our tests found many install-it-yourself systems are poorly designed, made of shoddy materials, and a nightmare to install."
Check out the article and review, on-line. When we're back from Italy, we'll do some more research from the Consumer Reports story to bring you closets systems that are well-made and full of value.
