Custom Closet Systems — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about custom closet systems available at Consumers Supply in Chicago

Q
Where can I get a custom closet system in Chicago?

Consumers Supply Company at 1110 W. Lake St. in Chicago has a full custom closet display on the showroom floor. Homeowners, designers, and contractors are welcome to walk in and browse the options in person — no appointment required. Closet systems are ordered to your specifications with quick availability. Call (312) 666-6080 to discuss your project before stopping in.

Q
What is a custom closet system?

A custom closet system is a modular or built-in storage solution designed to maximize the usable space in a closet by replacing or supplementing a standard single rod and shelf with a configured combination of hanging sections, shelving, drawers, shoe storage, and accessories. Unlike off-the-shelf wire shelving, a custom closet system is designed around the specific dimensions and storage needs of the user and the space — whether that’s a walk-in master closet, a reach-in bedroom closet, a linen closet, or a mudroom entry. The result is a more organized, more functional, and more visually finished closet that makes better use of every inch.

Q
What types of closet systems does Consumers Supply offer?

Consumers Supply carries closet systems suited for a range of applications including walk-in closets, reach-in bedroom closets, linen closets, home office storage, and mudroom and entryway organization. Systems include hanging sections for long and short garments, adjustable shelving, drawer units, shoe shelving and cubbies, belt and accessory organizers, and various hardware and finish options. The full display at the store lets you see the components and finishes in person before placing your order. Call (312) 666-6080 to discuss your space and storage needs.

Q
Can I see custom closet options in person at Consumers Supply?

Yes. Consumers Supply has a full custom closet display at the store at 1110 W. Lake St. in Chicago. Seeing the components, finishes, and configurations in person gives you a much better sense of the quality and look than a catalog or website. You can walk through the display at your own pace and the staff can help you think through what configuration would work best for your space. No appointment is needed — stop by or call (312) 666-6080 ahead of your visit.

Q
Are custom closet systems stocked at Consumers Supply or are they ordered?

Closet systems at Consumers Supply are ordered to your specifications — components are configured and sized to fit your specific closet dimensions and storage requirements. Quick availability means turnaround from order to delivery is typically fast, so your project timeline won’t be significantly delayed waiting for materials. The team at Consumers Supply can give you an accurate lead time estimate when you finalize your selection. Call (312) 666-6080 to discuss your project and timeline.

Q
What finish and material options are available for closet systems?

Closet systems are available in a range of finishes and materials to suit different budgets and aesthetics. Options typically include melamine panels in white and a range of wood-look finishes, solid wood or wood veneer components for a more traditional built-in appearance, and various hardware finishes for rods, brackets, and pulls. The display at Consumers Supply shows the available finish options so you can select what best matches your bedroom, hallway, or living space. Call (312) 666-6080 to discuss what’s currently available.

Q
How do I plan a custom closet layout for my space?

Start by measuring the width, depth, and height of the closet — including the location of any doors, light fixtures, or obstructions. Then think through what you actually need to store: how many hanging garments and what lengths, how much folded clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories. Separating long-hang items (dresses, coats) from short-hang items (shirts, jackets, pants folded over a rod) is one of the most impactful decisions in a closet layout. Bring your measurements and a rough idea of your storage needs when you visit Consumers Supply — the team can help you work through a configuration that makes the most of your space. Call (312) 666-6080 to get started.

Q
Can a custom closet system be installed in a reach-in closet, or only walk-ins?

Custom closet systems work extremely well in reach-in closets — in fact, a reach-in closet is often where the improvement over a standard single rod and shelf is most dramatic. A well-designed reach-in system can double or triple the usable storage capacity of a standard bedroom closet by stacking short-hang sections, incorporating shelving and drawers, and making use of the full height of the space. Chicago apartments and older homes often have modest reach-in closets where a custom system makes a significant practical difference. Consumers Supply carries systems sized for reach-in closets as well as walk-ins.

Q
Can I install a custom closet system myself?

Many custom closet systems are designed with DIY installation in mind and come with clear instructions and hardware. A capable homeowner comfortable with basic tools can typically install a closet system in a day. More complex configurations — particularly those involving floor-to-ceiling panels, integrated drawers, or installation in an irregularly shaped space — may benefit from a professional installer. Consumers Supply sells closet systems directly to homeowners, so you can purchase the system yourself and choose whether to install it yourself or have someone else do it.

Q
Does Consumers Supply sell custom closet systems to homeowners directly?

Yes. Consumers Supply is open to the public — homeowners can walk in, browse the full closet display, discuss their space and needs with the staff, and place an order directly, no contractor or designer required. Stop by at 1110 W. Lake St. in Chicago or call (312) 666-6080 to get started.
