The "Ingenious" DIY Closet That Instantly Got My Entire Wardrobe in Order
It’s no secret that moving can be stressful, but one of my favorite ways to unwind during a move? Organizing. Now I know that choosing to relax after a hard day of moving by doing more work is a bit out there, but the calm that organizing a chaotic space brings me can’t be beat. After a recent move, I found myself in the midst of unpacking and organizing, thinking, “Wow, I really need to find a way to sort my clothes.”
You see, my new space is lacking in one major thing: a closet (well, save for a small linen closet). This meant one of two things: I was going to have to invest in a dresser (or two) or I was going to have to get creative — I went with the latter. When looking up ideas on how to store my clothes, I realized there was only one way to go: a DIY closet. That’s when I found the SONGMICS 4-Tier Wardrobe Closet and reader, this thing organized my entire wardrobe.

What is the SONGMICS 4-Tier Wardrobe Closet?
Designed to turn any open space into the closet of your dreams, this organizer is a godsend for anyone in need of some major storage. Constructed of durable steel, this piece is a storage powerhouse. It comes equipped with hanging rails for long garments, coats, and sweaters, eight storage shelves, top space (perfect for storage boxes or bags), and a bottom area for shoes. The best part? It also comes with a dust-proof fabric cover to keep all of your belongings pristine. It’s truly like they thought of everything.
Why I Love the SONGMICS 4-Tier Wardrobe Closet
As I mentioned above, my new space doesn’t have a closet, but what it did have was a big open space that with one look I knew would be the perfect place to set up this wardrobe. Putting this piece together was a breeze — it did take some time (I’d say 40 minutes overall) but it truly was as easy as click-connecting the pieces together and placing it where I wanted (I also opted to attach the wall anchors for extra stability).
Then came the fun part: filling it up. Now I’ll be honest, I didn’t think this closet would hold as much as it does, but when all was said and done I had put every piece of clothing I own into it. I even had space for some bag storage up top! I couldn’t believe it. Dresses, pants, tops, pajamas — you name it, it fits. As I took a step back to look at my perfectly organized closet, I felt the zen I had been chasing and felt a smile creep across my face. That, dear reader, is a feeling that can’t be beat.
Coming in at $80, this organizer is available in your choice of a 3-tier, 4-tier, or 5-tier design so you can truly customize the setup to your space. So if you’ve got your heart set on a DIY closet, take it from me — you can’t go wrong with this pick. Here’s to you finding your organizing zen, too.
