Elfa Storage Systems from the Container Store

If ease of installation and fantastic optionality are your main concerns, I'd recommend the Elfa Storage Solution.  Elfa is the Container Store's premier closet system brand.  Elfa offers customizable modular closet storage  systems that can be designed to fit any space, from a small reach-in closet to a large walk-in.  They offer a variety of finishes and accessories, such as jewelry drawers, tie racks, shoe shelves and belt racks to personalize your space. The best part about it is how easy it is to design and custom fit your home space.   One option for customizing your closet system is to use the Container Store's custom design tool which I find quite easy to use.  The other option is to work with a Container Store storage specialist, who can provide material and design recommendations that might get overlooked when using the custom design tool.  Either way, I think you'll be very happy with an Elfa!

Reach-in Closet System from California Closets

This California Closets brand has been a popular custom closet system for over 40 years.  The optionality of this system surpasses even the Elfa, although this benefit is reflected in the higher cost.  However, if you are like me and fret over high ticket expenses, you'll like that your personal California  Closets consultant will provide you with a 3D rendering of the finished Closet System before construction begins.  They offer a variety of finishes including wood, laminate, and glass. California Closets also offers a range of accessories such as valet rods, jewelry drawers and LED lighting to make your closet even more functional.

Boaxel Closet System from Ikea

If you’re looking for a more affordable closet system, the IKEA Boaxel may be a good option. This modular system allows you to customize your closet by mixing and matching different components, such as drawers, shelves, and hanging rods. You can choose from a variety of finishes and sizes to fit your space.  According to popular blogger Homegrown with Grace the system is relatively easy to setup and works well in a child's closet as it is inexpensive and easy to replace.  While the quality may not be as high as some of the other options on this list, the Ikea Boaxel Closet System is a great choice for those on a budget.

There are many companies in the closet system space, but none are quite like Easy Closets.  Easy is the operable word when it comes to these guys, their closet systems are designed for a quick and painless installation.  They offer a variety of closet systems that are semi-customizable.  You'll find these closet systems priced between the high end California Closets Reach-in and the more affordable IKEA Boaxels.  According to popular home-space blogger Artsycipcake, one of the benefits of going with Easy Closets is their streamlined design process and instant quotes.   Their online design tool allows you to quickly create a personalized space that fits your needs and budget.  Once your order is placed Easy Closets will cut your parts based on the dimensions you specified and your shipment will arrive within 10 days.  The closets pieces will come ready-to-be-installed and you will find plenty of helpful installation tutorial videos on their website.
