Wire shelving vs. custom — what's the real difference?

If you're choosing between wire shelving from a big-box store and a custom system from Cap City Closets, the honest answer is: they solve different problems.

Wire shelving

• ·Cheapest option, fast to install.
• ·Fixed height — no adjustment as your wardrobe changes.
• ·Sweaters and folded items fall through.
• ·Sags over time. Marks delicate hangers.

Custom closets

• ·Solid shelves that hold folded clothes, baskets, shoes.
• ·Adjustable — change as your wardrobe changes.
• ·Drawer banks instead of dressers (free up the bedroom).
• ·Designed around what you own, not a stock kit.

Rentals. Utility closets. Garages where you literally just need to hang a rake. We'll tell you straight if your project is one of those — we'd rather lose a sale than sell you something you don't need.
