Can cut IKEA to fit then trim it out to make it look built in. I’ve done this for my book shelved it’s fairly cost effective

So these are just the billy book shelves then I trimmed them out with mdf
Mouldings. IKEA is a good base to start then you can customize them as you need and the trim just makes it look more “built in”

Costco does custom cabinets I think. It’s on the ‘wall of pamphlets’ when you’re leaving the store

I did mine with the ikea pax.

Had to do some cutting and modification to get a corner and make it fit the length & width of the closet (12' x 8')
Don't really have a good pic, but took some before and during photo.





I think it cost about $1100 for what I did there. (7 towers)
The frames and shelf were very cheap, the drawers are the expensive parts to add.

Lol yup during our walkthrough I expected it to be the cheap ass wire racks but when I saw it in person I was like wow this is ugly as fuck and not even that practical.

I wish the closet we have is that big but it ain't so I guess the cost would be less unless we go crazy with add ons

For the standard condo reach in closet. Do I go custom or do it myself.
Which system would be the best for DIY
