Two of these cabinets on top of each other allow for large amounts of hanging clothes storage.
Clothing storage cabinets are built with a clothes rod to hang any clothing items that need long-term hanging storage. You can stack these cabinets on top of each other, increase them in height, depth or width, and install them in a variety of locations. You can screw them to the wall or set them underneath a desktop to support a desk. Shortened and modified closets, these storage units are an effective way to store large amounts of delicate and expensive garments. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Hold two 1/2-by-24-by-48-inch boards with their long, thin sides on the working surface; have an assistant help you. Keep the boards parallel to each other about three feet apart, as these are the side boards of the clothing cabinet. Push a 1/2-by-24-by-36-inch board up against one set of the board ends to be the top board. Drill through the top board and into the ends of the side boards, placing four holes in each side board for a total of eight drilled holes.
2. Set 2-inch wood screws in each previously drilled hole. Tighten the wood screws completely to fully attach the top board to the side boards. Repeat with another 1/2-by-24-by-36-inch board on the other end of the side boards to serve as the bottom board.
3. Place a 1/2-by-36-by-49-inch plywood board on the frame with even edges. Drill into this board, which is the back board of the cabinet, and into the frame boards every 12 inches. Screw 2-inch wood screws into each hole.
4. Turn the frame over and set another 1/2-by-36-by-49-inch board on top of the frame. Position three side-mount cabinet hinges along the joint between the side board and this new board, which is the door. Drill holes through each hinge attachment hole and screw the hinges on the door and side board using 1/2-inch wood screws.
5. Drill a 1-inch diameter hole in the center of two 1-by-3-by-24-inch boards. Slide each onto the end of a 35-inch long, 1-inch diameter dowel rod. Slide the boards into the cabinet about two inches from the top of the cabinet. Arrange them so they are parallel and drill four holes through each of these boards, which are the rod support boards, and into the side boards. Screw 1-inch screws into each hole to attach the rod support boards to the side boards.
