    My husband and I did the same thing a few months ago. Putting the bookcases together was easy, however we choose to raise them to allow floor space to store extra shoes and miscellaneous items. We also added bars for hanging clothes in between the book cases using rods from lowes and extra shelves using Rubbermaid shelves from home depot. Our closet is much more functional and we saved hundreds. One tip if you are worried about it tipping you can add shelf brackets to the corners. That's what we did. It only adds a few dollars.

    @meandyou917 3 роки тому +12

    Hello there. Great job!!! Now, the reason you strip some screws is because you drilled in too fast. You have an impact drill which does just that, it impacts the screw. If you use a regular drill with an adjustable Chuck it will slow the drilling process. Drill a pilot hole and then run the screws slower. Also, you can use cups for rods to hang your clothes.
    Also
    You might want to find a way to anchor them to your wall, better safe than sorry.
    Anywho, you did a great job!

    literally just found you due to this video and instantly subscribed. i can only see a peak into you closet and personality from this, but i'm hooked. from one handy chicka to the next, they make electric screw drivers...they are essentially small like a regular screwdriver, but you don't have to twist your hand...only press a button. and way less powerful than a drill. i love mine!! it was only like $10-15 USD. Hopefully it will help when you take these down to move once your lease in the apartment is up.
    ps. im using your ideas to create my own custom walk-in closet from an extra bedroom, and will be tagging you!! im so excited! thank you again! xoxo

    GENIUS! Wish I'd seen this, before I installed my ELFA system. Their Design program wanted to waste an entire wall, over being short a few inches (6' x 5' x 6'). I overlapped the shelves on top, rather than waste $$$ & space, (a friend gave me most of the system. Spent $180, incl cart).
    On one side, have floor to ceiling rails, to install two 12" metal shelves above each other, just above the floor. That will keep purses and shoes in line!
