    Closet World did a closet remodel for me and I had a very good experience.The designer was cool and their installers were the bomb. They were awesome. I will be calling them to get some more work done. I hope it's from the same person who did my original work. I've already recommended them.

    We had an interior designer who had clients that used Closet World before and they seemed satisfied with them. I had some bookshelves in one of our rooms and some shelving in our garage installed by them. We had worked with two designers. The first one quit so the second designer finished it up. The first project, the one in the garage, was easy. The bookshelves were more difficult. Their guys had to come back three times before they were able to complete it. They went back and forth trying to get everything up to my standard. They also started with the bookshelves late in the afternoon. They started with one guy at around 4:00 in the afternoon and then brought in a second guy and they didn’t finish until 8:00. They should have had two guys starting at the beginning of the day. But in the end, it came out all right. I had a good experience overall.

    We thought that Closet World was a pretty big organization and that they knew what they were doing. They did a closet area for us and the designer was pushy and talked us out of what we wanted. Then the installation was awful. The installers were late, left trash behind everywhere and it was supposed to be a five-to-six-hour job but it turned into five days over five weeks that our house was torn up. So, all in all, it’s an absolutely miserable experience. We went to two or three layers with their management and nobody wanted to help us make anything right.

    We called a couple companies and from talking with the Closet World people on the phone, they seemed like the better choice. And their price was fair if I compared it with others. They installed a bedroom closet for us. Everybody was polite and the job was done on time and professionally. The designer was pretty good. He was clear and worked with us on the pricing. The salesman explained all the options, however, he should've mentioned that there was an extra fee of $50 to take away the junk from the old closet. The installer did an acceptable job with moving the stuff off to the side and it wasn't strewn all over the place but I wish I would have known about the charge because there were nails and old screws sticking out.

    We had a house we were rebuilding and we gutted everything out. And then we had made one of the rooms bigger where we made our closet.

    We thought we have what used to be Garage Envy system in our garage of the house we bought and I was trying to get more accessory rack parts like hooks and pieces to stick on it to hang things off. In looking for Garage Envy, they took me to Closet World. And then, the designer came out and walked through with me, and told me what I needed to do and showed me the catalog and things I could get. She was very professional and a good representative for the company. They didn’t have to do any installation because we already had the system within the house we bought. They just mailed me the order once I placed it.and I was happy with every step of the process.

    I had some coupons and Closet World's designer came to my home at my convenience to help me so I went with them. But they overpriced it and then did huge discounts so I'm a little skeptical about that. They offered me a good discount but I am pretty sure I could have gotten more.

    I had three closets and some cabinetry installed by Closet World. The designer was very amazing and nice, but every single cabinet was wrong and every single closet I had installed had a problem. I had to have people come back several times to fix it. I had to miss a bunch of work to wait for contractors, who one of them was late and literally didn’t show up until 30 minutes before construction had to stop in my complex. And the worst part was the customer service. No one cared, or tried to help me and remedy the situation, or offer any kind of discount. I called several times. I went online to see what kind of reviews they had and saw 1 and 2 stars on almost every site. I am kicking myself that I didn’t do my due diligence before hiring this company. I’m an owner of a construction company wherein I was going to use them for other jobs. It was the worst experience and I was extremely dissatisfied.

    I tried California Closets but Closet World was a little cheaper. I had a walk-in closet done and then also an external pantry put in. The designers had three different designs and some good ideas. They worked with me and were all very good. It also worked out pretty well with the installation team. There were issues where they forgot some parts but they brought them back later. They followed up with what little mistakes they may have made and fixed them all. I'll definitely use Closet World again. They're a good company.

    I purchased almost $5,000 worth of closet organizers from Closet World. The bedrooms were done first and they had to come back and do the garage. The master bedroom was an issue since they didn't finish the way that they were supposed to. They were supposed to give me the bottom additional hanging area but they gave me the shelf, which didn't have enough room to hang my clothes. When I called, they said they'll send the guys back to extend that part a little and give me a hanging rod. They also said if they didn’t come sooner than the second appointment, when they come to do the garage they would definitely have the material to correct the master bedroom closet. The area wasn't done properly so when they came for the garage, I asked them about the situation and to finish the master closet first. But they had no idea and they didn't have the proper material so they weren't able to fix it.

    Also, they asked me to pay the full remaining balance in advance before they could install the garage closet, which was rude. No one gets paid full before they fully finish the job, and I ended up paying them the full amount before they even installed the closet. They finished the job, left and said they took the measurements for the master closet. It’s been a month but they never came back and no one has returned my call. I called the supervisor several times and every time, he’d say he’ll call back but I never heard back. I also called the designer. She sweet talked me into it. I offered her coffee and sweets, invited her back to my house and I was really kind and generous to her, and I believed her stories. But now my master closet is not fully done and I can't do anything about it, which is really unfair. Closet World is a terrible company and I would not recommend anybody to them.

    Closet World helped me with my garage. But one major drawback was they didn't show up at all on some appointments wherein they should have. It happened more than twice or thrice and that really frustrated me. We had good interaction with the designer but she was not so knowledgeable. We had to tell her how we wanted the design. Then she didn't give the design to the installer and that delayed us for almost two months. Other than that, their price was cheaper compared to the other companies.

    We had a garage and a master bedroom closet installed by Closet World. Their designer was very friendly. She knew what she was talking about and how to sell her products. After we spoke to her, we didn't want to do any other estimates and just went for it. The first team came in really late and left the actual cabinets. My area's dark and when they were cutting the pieces of wood, they left chipped wood all over the closet. So it wasn't a good experience, but we paid too much money for it. Maybe they should have come in when it was daylight. I had to lend them my nightstand lamp for them to see what they were doing. They need more professionalism when it comes to that type of business. But my husband insisted on giving it another try when we did the garage and that team did a good job.

    I spent a few minutes here and there trying to figure out which build-it-yourself cabinets already made could work if I reinforced them and would fit in the right location because over the years they’ve gotten smaller, cheaper, thinner, and weaker. What made us go with Closet World was their pricing and their design, which was a combination of the durability. I prefer to design my own stuff and install it, but my wife wanted me to have the time off because of how busy my schedule is. Also, their stuff was built strong enough to what I would need, and they were gonna build it to fit.

    I installed two two-door cabinets with adjustable shelves (one was 36 inches wide, and the other was 48 inches), and a countertop two-door model adjustable shelving without drawers which was 36 inches wide and 12 inches deep. Then there were additional cabinets overhead that workspace. They were all 84 inches high. However, I'm not satisfied with Closet World and we would not use them again.

    At first, everything seemed to go well. When the units were first delivered to be installed, there was an issue with the dimensions having been changed where the countertop unit instead of being 36 inches wide was reduced to 24 inches wide with two 48-inch wide close door cabinets. It was not what we had discussed because my wife was specifically looking for a countertop that she could use for her little things going in and out of the house, in between the cars. We have a smaller garage now, so those features were important to her. When I called the designer, she said, “Oh, I forgot to call you about that.” She said she was gonna talk to the company. The company said she never did. Then she said she would call us.

    When I first called her to find out what was going on and to let her know that I refused the cabinets as built, she said she would call back and she didn’t, even though we called more than once to try and reestablish contact. I got a call from the promotions department that said that if we had a designer come out in a certain amount of time on whatever we had built that was $1,100 or more would end up being 50% off. I told them, “Is this what I’m understanding correctly?” They said yes. I said, “Does it matter which designer?” They said, “No. Are you requesting the same designer?” I said no. The same designer showed up and she said she knew nothing about that promotion, so we have not done anything more with Closet World.

    The construction was late. I was originally quoted that they'd be there between 1:00 and 3:00. Around 3:30, I got a call from somebody at their dispatch center that said they’re running late and it has to do with traffic, and they’ll be there in the next 30 minutes. They showed up an hour later and I asked them where did they come from that the traffic was so bad? They said there wasn’t any traffic issue and they were in Stevenson Ranch. So the integrity of the information relayed to the customer was suspect and I did not appreciate that. They could have just told me straight up. I’m flexible and I know what it’s like to work with schedules and compensate all the time for allowing for variances in expected versus actual arrival times. I felt that the designer had questionable follow through and communications. There were communication issues, which was possibly left-hand-right-hand syndrome.

    There was a follow-up appointment, but not on that issue. They finally installed the correct cabinets. They arrived roughly within the time they said they would, so I have no problem with the actual install. So far it seems to be holding up. But then after the designer said she didn’t know anything about it, my wife asked her to leave because she was only tolerating it for me because I wanted to have a workbench put in and some additional storage for just expansion room. With that 50% off offer, I didn’t ask for it. They offered it to me and they said I qualified.

    After that, she left a voicemail for me that she needed to talk to me. She was sorry about the confusion with the design, but she needed to talk to me because there were missing parts with the design that was installed. Her information was suspect and now the build quality was suspect. I didn’t know who to believe. If somebody were to ask me who a good cabinet maker would be, I’d have to tell them I don’t know. I do believe that there is no such thing as perfection, but they should at least try and make it right and don’t need to make excuses and tap dance around and/or give me different information.

    It’s sad to say that in my case, the cabinets appear to fit the same level of craftsmanship with KB Home. I reached out to Closet World because I was led to believe that they were closer toward Toll Brothers. I don’t know if the cabinets are gonna fall apart because I don’t know what parts were missing and I’m not even sure if they’re really missing because I now doubt the integrity of the person telling me that. They could be using that as a ploy to get me to allow them to come to the house with those parts and then offer me another deal and try and work something in. We’re at the point where we just assume we won't have them in our house. I feel bad for Closet World because I know what it’s like to be a part of a company's division, and they bust their butt to do their best and they find out somebody else is like nowhere near and they think they’re all that.

    We needed to get things done right away and it was Closet World's speed that was able to get the remodeling done. They managed to get everything done in two weeks when everybody else was quoting us six months. It was interesting though because we saw a lot of other pitches from other companies and Closet World seemed to be the least tech savvy in terms of the tools that were provided to them. They were just using grass paper and so, I was a little concerned in the beginning. But then, it ended up not really being an issue and they gave us the delivery time that we needed so we chose the grass paper pitch over the others.

    Everything's wonderful. It's only the house sold, but we'll put it back on the market next year. Being pressed for selling the house, we were in a rush and just had the bigger house off to market. They got us a great deal wherein we paid half as much and the quality is the same. They came over, installed it and did everything I asked them to do because we were in the process of moving. They cut all the stuff in the garage instead of doing it in a different location. They were just fantastic. We'll be definitely using them again when we sell our house and move into a new one. In fact, our Realtor is the one of the top Realtors in the State of California and she's recommending Closet World to her other clients as well. So they got a lot of business from us, but they also give us a lot still.

    I explored the possibility of working with Closet World and the quote I got from them was fair based on my knowledge of the marketplace. I had a closet for my daughter put into her room that includes shelving, coat hangers, and a three-drawer system. Then, I also had a desk along with some other cabinetry on one wall of my master bedroom to allow me to have a workspace.

    The designer was fantastic. She scheduled a time to come in the house around when my availability was. She gave me her opinion on what would go well in the space that I was looking to do. She also worked very closely with me to actually accommodate a piece of technology that was on my wall and ultimately worked around that so it would fill the space in my master bedroom the way I liked it.

    They’re a great company. Their installers came in and did it as quickly as they could which was a three-hour turnaround time. They cleaned up after themselves, too. It was the product that I was looking for. Then I had one concern after the install team had come in so I called the customer service line. I thought their people would be back the next day or the following day based on their deployment schedule, but they came the same day and fixed it right away. I would recommend them though they could speed up the expediency of getting the product to their customers faster.

    Closet World had a 50% off of a cabinet promotion so I called them. Unfortunately, I had trouble with the designer who wasn't versed with measurements. She measured everything then gave me a quote. Then after a while, she called and asked for additional stuff. I told her to call back the next day but I never heard anything. Then the installers came in and were amazing. They showed up on time and were nice and professional. However, the measurements the designer gave them were incorrect so they had to go back, re-measure and put in the right length.

    The bedroom walk-in closet is great but the company was claiming that I agreed to an additional charge on my account. Somebody's chasing me for a $200 charge. I asked them to send me proof that I agreed to that but they can't provide one. I'm a little crossed about that but am very satisfied overall.

We were in Palm Desert, California and we called a couple of places and Closet World. The CW designer that came out was incredible. She was thorough and we liked her. We were spoiled by her. She did three closets and I had something added later on and she did a beautiful job. It’s quite a highlight of our home. But over here at Laguna Woods, the girl was very nice but she didn’t do well with me. We installed shelves and drawers in one closet and it turned out to be a couple of closets.

    We were happy with the product that Closet World did when we used them a couple of years ago so we used them again. We had new laundry room cabinets put in. The designer we had used prior had moved so they had a different designer come out and both were really helpful and knowledgeable. The last designer had some great ideas. We changed from what we decided to do first into something different by his recommendation and it worked out really good. We were really happy with that.

    Installation went well, too. Howard at their office coordinated our prior and latest installs. After the latest product was put in, the installer realized that it would be nice to have shelves right in the middle so he called corporate and said that. Howard agreed and the company brought us shelves the next day. They also didn't charge us for them so that was nice.

    We've passed our good experience onto family members and intend to use Closet World again. We've used them for our master bedroom closets, then for our linen closets, and then again for our laundry room and they sustained such high-quality craftsmanship.

However, there was a mix up because I originally called them on my landline phone for an appointment. Then when I called back to confirm it, I requested that I be contacted by the designer on my cellphone when she's on her way. Whoever took that message over the phone never relayed that so the designer was waiting at the property for over 30 minutes before I knew she was there. She was calling the landline and I was not at home. I ended up calling Closet World saying I had not heard from anyone and I didn't know if someone was coming. At that time they told me that the designer was at the property waiting for me. Other than that, I was very satisfied with the results of the closet and I would recommend them.

    The person from Closet World was pleasant in the beginning. She said she would check back with me once the work was done but I never heard from her. After the work was done, I was not happy with it. I was disappointed with the price I paid for its quality, and design. My husband was so small and they did it so high. The quality of the closet was very cheap for the price I paid for. I told the people that installed that I’m not satisfied. He said that he followed the sketch but it was wrong. Basically, the guy talked back to me.

    I have used Closet World in San Francisco. This time, I had closets and bookcases installed in my apartment. Their designer was excellent. She knows a lot and we’ve done three projects in this apartment. However, there was a follow-up from their installers because they didn’t cut something correctly in one of my projects. They didn’t have the right size shelf because it was cut in LA and we can’t do more of the cutting up here so I had to wait several weeks.

    After I checked into Closet World, I really liked the people that I was working with. I had them install a bed that folds up into the wall and I also had two bedroom closets done. Their designer was amazing and she helped me decide what it was that I really wanted. She had an excellent level of knowledge.

The meeting with the designer was very pleasant. I like Malia a lot and I’ve actually called her back to do another closet. She’s super knowledgeable with a lot of really good recommendations that seem to work very well, which is great because our closets are so small. The installation was properly completed.

    I've used Closet World before and I like them. Recently, I had them do a garage wall that's 20 feet long and 8 feet tall. The designer was great but made a terrible mistake. The design was good but her elevations were off, which caused the closet in the garage to be off. There were two mistakes and I allowed one mistake to go, and merely adjusted it so that it worked, although I didn't like it. If it were in the house, the designer would have to do the entire wall again. However, the other mistake was that the closet was too big, so it wouldn't fit in the space and the installers had to come back to redo it, and it has cost a lot of materials for their company to do that. Moreover, my job was in Oxnard and they had to drive 150 miles to get there. Other than that, the installation guys were great, and everything else was good.

    We had some friends that had positive experiences with Closet World and the local mailer had a discount code, so we thought of consulting with them for a closet remodel. It was also all positive for us, from our interactions with the designer to our installation experience. But from a pricing standpoint, they’re not overly competitive. It is a little deceptive how they have their 40% off discount. Because when you compare them against competitors, it’s not really a 40% discount. They’re inflating their prices to fake give you a discount. I’d recommend them to a friend, but I would also tell the friend to price shop and to compare them against others more heavily.

    I used Closet World before when I lived in Redondo Beach. I moved to Palm Desert and thought I'd use them again. However, my experience didn't seem to be as smooth as the previous one. The designer was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The one reason I decided to do this work is that the bar had fallen out of the original closet. However, the new bar fell down after I had hung up the clothes. I felt the measurements were slightly off. I was a little cranky because I paid a couple of thousand dollars to have something done and then it's not right. Then to get this fixed, I had to wait because their excuse was they were coming all the way in from the City of Industry. It's really not my problem if you want my business. But they were gracious to come back and fix the problem. The quality of the closet is fine after it was fixed. It's all set and I certainly give credit to everyone.

    I had Closet World install closets in all the rooms and there were a lot of things I wanted them to do like clean or take away the old debris they were tearing down and do closet doors and tear down other walls. I wasn't aware they didn't do that. They said that they were going to charge me. They left the debris in my back because I thought for $75 we can just take it and there were some really good wood that we could reuse, but I was hoping they would just take everything. It was almost like they were charging me to pick better wood that I had in my closet than what was installed. Also, I thought it was going to be solid wood that was going to be placed in my closet, not particle board.

    The salesperson that did the quality measurements to provide the quote brought me a magazine where there were wonderful, state of the art closets that they can pretty much do, but it's so misleading and it's nothing like they have on the magazine for what they show on that advertisement.

    I felt that ClosetWorld had the advantage of being able to offer good pricing and efficiency being a large company that's more established because they have a system and have worked out the bugs. I felt it was going to be able to offer quality and things that sometimes smaller companies may not be able to always offer. We had several closets done and had some that were regular basic closets for double hanging clothes for my son so he could hang more clothes and also for guests when they come. We also had need of having shelves and things in the office area so that we could have more efficient use of the space.

    Their designer was terrific. She was not only fast but very capable of making her designs really maximize the space we had and making the very best use of them in terms of what we wanted. And I told her upfront that I didn't wanna spend a lot of money. I wanted to get the maximum benefit for the least price. We went over that, I gave her the parameters and she immediately responded to the things that I had told her for each closet and went right to town. She knew exactly what to do and I didn't have to say it twice. She was all about getting the job done but still very personable and extremely nice at the same time. It was such a pleasant experience. I was very impressed with her intelligence.

    Then the installers were fantastic. They came completely prepared and had everything they needed. Certain things had to be pre-cut in a certain way because of our baseboards and everything was perfectly measured and pre-cut. And I thought there's gonna be some foul-up that has to be redone but not at all. Everything was done precisely. It was amazing to watch these two guys work together and with each other. They were a great team. When they walked in the house and saw that I was walking barefoot, they immediately put booties on without asking. They did that out of respect which was really something. I've never had contractors that were so thoughtful.

    Then they made sure everything was done perfectly down to the last detail. They went above and beyond and any concern or question that I had about anything, they were responsive and helpful. I was so pleasantly surprised by everything. I also asked them what if I wanna make any changes in the future and they explained that they have the factory right here in town so if I decide to add or make changes, I can call them and make another order. I was so glad that I went with Closet World. I was really pleased. It was absolutely the best experience. I already wrote ClosetWorld a recommendation.

It was confusing because they couldn’t estimate exactly how wide it would be depending on if they did a fixed shelf or not. Once the installer started working on it, it ended up being way too skinny.

    We contacted Closet World when we purchased our home two years ago. At the time, the quote we obtained from the designer was well outside our budget. The designer didn't offer any alternatives to the type of materials, finishes or options available so we opted to wait. This time, we contacted Closet World and the designer came out on schedule. She worked up a new design (I believe since it had been 2 years since the last one) and took our deposit. We were contacted shortly thereafter with an install date, which I appreciated very much. On the day of install, our appt. was changed from morning until the afternoon due to a sick call. Hey! It happens.

    The installer arrived alone, (no co-worker or helper on hand) and as he was putting the pieces together, commented on the lack of storage for my shoes. My husband questioned the installer and made a call to the designer asking where the shoe storage piece was. The designer said "oh, I left it out because you couldn't afford it." First, the designer shouldn't have assumed what I could afford or not afford. Cost was not discussed until the end of the designer's visit. Secondly, my husband specifically asked for shoe storage so the quote should have included that. The decision about final cost or scope of the work should have been left for us to decide. The designer told my husband at the time of installation, that my shoes could go underneath the hanging clothes which doesn't make any sense. Then I would have to dig through the clothes to the shoe boxes. That defeats the purpose.

    Further, the installer made a comment to my husband "well, you signed the contract." While that was a true statement, perhaps that comment was better left unsaid at the time. Now, I have to wait almost 3 weeks for the additional quote and installation of something that was supposed to be part of the original design. I am beyond frustrated at this time and perhaps someone should counsel their staff of providing all of the things customers are looking for and let the customer make their own decisions about what options they want versus what they can live without.

So, I made a phone call to the designer to review and discuss it and the installer waited. The designer then said that she would put in the change because she had misunderstood me, and the installer was really nice about it. He said that he'll put the handles on anyway so that I can start using them and that someone will come and switch them out, and within 48 hours, the handles were switched out.

    I hired Closet World for a large customized master bedroom closet because I had a vague feeling that they had a good reputation, which turned out to be completely wrong. The designer was perfectly fine and was very nice and reasonably knowledgeable. She took a rather expensively long time when she came out. The original installation was horrific and I was left speechless. It was unbelievable. The closet was horrible, tacky, and looked cheap, which it was not. Closet World finally got it up to barely acceptable over seven additional installation days, which were not even consecutive days because they can't schedule to come back to fix their messes the next day so this took place over a period of six weeks.

    The closet does not look the way we had designed it because the design had to be completely changed to try to correct some of the many installation flaws. They wore me out and I couldn't take it anymore. It got to a point where it’s no longer worth it. I couldn't have them to keep coming back to my house over and over, removing the closet again. But finally, two months later, they're out of my house and I got my clothes in my closet. I visited ConsumerAffairs the night of the end of the first two installation days when I was incredulous at the horrors that Closet World had put in my closet. I read a lot of the reviews but that was a little bit late, unfortunately.

    I would not recommend Closet World to anyone except maybe to my worst enemy to torture them because it really was it was. The end result looked better than the original installation, but it still looks like a closet that my 15-year-old nephew bought the supplies at Home Depot and threw it together over a weekend.

She also went over the styles and prices. The thing she failed to tell me was that when they did the demolition on my current closet, they would not fix whatever they demolished afterward.

    At the time of the installation, I was working and my daughter was at home. The person who installed the closets and did the demolition called me about an hour before he finished. I went to my house around 5:00 PM and to my surprise, he did the demolition and installed the new closet without patching any walls. They should have said, "We're gonna do the demolition but you need to hire someone to do the patching on the walls to cover the holes," not to install the new closet over the damaged wall. At least, if they don't wanna do it, just give me the opportunity to hire someone to do the patching, the painting, and then install the closet. That's the right thing to do.

    And they charged me $4,600. So, what I did was call American Express and told them that I want to dispute the last payment. I was not allowed but I submitted anyway. I'm very upset with the situation and I'm not happy with the service and performance at all. I'm a person that if somebody does a job, I will pay for it but they have to do it properly.

    The lady that came to do the measuring was very nice and considerate. I liked her and I enjoyed working with her. She was really helpful and I appreciate that.

    The installer came on time and he’s very clean, too. The only thing that I was a little disappointed about was I had the area prepped and they said, “Don’t put any molding down on the wall,” which is six inches on each side and then eight inches in the middle that still need molding. Once he was finished, I still had to get molding put down there. I only get, of course, what I ordered. But as far as his quality of work, he was excellent. I can’t complain about that and I had a very positive experience with Closet World.

    My experience was fine with Closet World. I was shopping around and they were the best qualified. I did closets for my daughter and myself. The designer was excellent. She was very informed, professional and easy-going. The installers were on time, quick and cleaned up after the work. They completed the job and I didn’t need anybody to come back out.

    We've had three large cabinets installed by Closet World in the garage. My only challenge was not being able to get a tighter window. And when I called the day before to get a window, I have to pick up my daughter in the afternoon but they couldn’t reschedule. I didn’t want to leave the garage door open for them, so I had to make the installation team wait for me for half-hour until I get back home. We could’ve eliminated that problem if they had told me exactly when or if they at least scheduled. But the people who came to install were fine.

    The other company that came showed samples that looked exactly like what they installed, but I didn't go with them because the samples of Closet World looked better. However, I was misled by Closet World, so I was upset about that. Because the way the wood looks doesn't look like the type that they installed in the closet. Their samples are that thick, pressed wood-looking type wood, but what they showed looked a lot nicer. I reached out to them, but they never got back to me. I wanted some money back from Closet World because the product is not exactly what they showed. Nevertheless, the service was good. The agent was great and really nice.

    I had the most horrible experience with Closet World. They came and did my service on September 30th. It was a walk-in closet, 2X12 room, the two side walls and rear walls were based on the options she gave me from the magazine but it's not what that picture was. I chose the picture with doors on the cabinet but they gave an open cabinet that didn't even look right. It needed two doors and one shelf and the one that I chose was a glass door. I'm stuck now with what I already have and I cannot go any further with it. After this is done, I'm going to write a big, big story about them everywhere I can.

    Closet World gave a free estimate so, when they came over and gave me the book that had a lot of designs, I chose to go with them based on how everything looked and how professional they presented. I told the designer what I want and she drew it. Our design was not good and the installers only did what she drew. She told me that whatever I want is not what I'm getting. And, now, we cannot even get a hold of her and they will not give me what was promised. I wish someone has some kind of power to do something about it. When I searched on Yelp, I'm not the only one who had a bad experience. Everything was screwed up. I'm never going to deal with them ever again.

    I wanted to give the designer the benefit of the doubt but when she came, she kept telling me whatever I want, whatever size etc. So, I said I don't want too extreme but I'll choose two pictures. If it was based on the two pictures, I'll be happy. When she left, she told me that she was going on vacation. Two or three days later, I got a phone call from the office of Closet World because the designer didn't even provide them the design or the contract. So, I had to do her work by taking pictures and emailing them all the information so they can start the process. But they took half of my money on the day the designer came when they didn't even process it correctly.

    After 20 to 30 phone calls, the manager was back-and-forth with me with a couple of emails and told me that he doesn't have any proof of what was promised to me. So, I asked him to get a hold of the designer but he couldn't so he ended up saying that he is not going to help me because he doesn't believe in what I'm saying and that I need to deal with sales. So, I called the sales manager and they said the manager will call me back. A day went by and no one called me. Next day, I called then finally, a manager called me back. She told me to write a report and someone will follow-up with me. I did that. Two or three days passed, no one followed up with me. I called sales department and passed me on to a corporate office but the manager in that department was not available. The lady told me the manager's name when I asked and that she's writing my complaint down and that she's going to call me next day. The next day, she did not call me.

    The weekend passed. I looked up the corporate office number on the internet only to find out that there was no such name and no complaint was written down. So, the lady transferred my call to the manager and he told me that he's going to call me back the next day to let me know what they can do, and they said they're going to give me what is not done. I initially agreed on a price of $3,600 based on what the designer told me that she's giving me everything I wanted, because that was my maximum budget. I'm thinking that I'm getting everything.

    Finally, someone from the corporate office is taking care of the things that they messed up. But now, the guy told me that the glass door's $1,000 and that they cannot give me a glass door but they'll give me a wood door. So, I'm stuck with either I take that wood door or I'm stuck with unfinished job. And I'm not going to get any refund if I want to cancel or not come and take it. I'm not getting what I thought I was going to get.

    Closet World was referred to me by my real estate agent. I had closets done in two children's rooms, as well as a walk-in closet. The designer was nice, and I had no problems with her. The installation team was great, too. However, they had to come back a couple of times because there were some measurement issues and parts that they didn't have, so they had to fix all that. But the state of the whole job was fine.

    My son, however, is quite unhappy with his closet because the design was too much in a small space. In hindsight, there's this cookie cutter thing that Closet World does, like the drawers and the bi-level hanging things. I believe the designer was trying to do her job and it's no fault of hers but more of a Closet World issue that I have. The closet is not usable. It's an extremely poor design, but there's nothing I can do about that except re-do the whole thing or get rid of all of it and just put in a bar. I said I wanted a closet designed, and they delivered but because I said I wanted a closet designed, the designer was behooved to put in a design, and she only had a few things to choose from. Since my closet turned out great, I would still recommend them, but with a heavy heart.

    The Closet World designer came and he took the wrong measurement. The products came on time, but then there was a sliding door that had to be done. The guy who installed it thought he had to cut the back side of the door because the doors are glass doors. He installed the back and then when he tried to install the door, it didn't fit. I asked the guy why it's not fitting and he said that it’s gonna take a longer time. I asked when he could do it and he said within one week. This was not the way it should have been done because the designer should have made some adjustment.

    After a week, I called Closet World and they didn't send anybody. They said it was not ready and that it would be ready on so and so date, and then that so and so date came and they said they didn't have workers. The next day, this guy came really late in the night and they put it in. The guy before him couldn't fix the wardrobe but took the check from me and the project wasn't completed. I said I needed my check back but he said they needed the payment upfront. The manager was also very mean. In the end, the job was done but it was such a pain to do it.

    I had my shelf and two cabinet doors in the laundry room installed through Closet World. The designer was very good but the installers were just awful. They broke something in my house and try to cover it up and then when I called their foreman they got pissy with my mother-in-law and weren't very friendly with her. I wasn't able to stay the whole time and then they turned off my gas line and refuse to turn it back on, so I had to pay a plumber to do that. They reimbursed me, but I wasn't happy about it.

    We had plans to use them for two other jobs for sure but we're looking for something else now. The designer was really friendly but I was really shocked with the way it turned out on the install. They pushed back the installation about two weeks because they didn't build the proper product so they had to come back out and re-measure and I wasn't very happy about that either. All in all it was not a good experience. The shelves look alright but after I found out they broke something, I don't think they put the proper effort during the installation. I'm very dissatisfied.

    When we made the deal to put the desk in, I thought it came with a center tray for the keyboard but it turned out that wasn’t a part of the deal. The Closet World saleslady who was very nice wanted to make a wider module on the one side and I said that I’d like more legroom in the middle so when that got changed, the keyboard thing got dropped out so that was a surprise. Then when I ordered the keyboard and tray and put it in, it didn’t line up right because of the things that weren’t squared so that’s when I reinstalled it so that things lined up correctly. Also, a couple of the parts came chipped already on the edge where the corners meet. The guys who did the installing got so much time and they gotta get on their way. There was a bit of a problem for them with the wall plug and we didn’t take time to discuss how to deal with that so they let things get out of line. But overall I'm satisfied.

    I previously had Closet World install custom cabinets and shelving for me in my home in Whittier. Two installers came out and did an excellent job, and the cabinets they installed were fine and good. However, there were a few glitches with one of the shelves on one of my built-in cabinets. I spoke with the manager for the installers and they made the correction right there in the field, so I don't have any problems with them.

    This time, I had them install plantation shutters on nine windows on the second floor. The shutters that we already had in the house had been installed previously by another company and I wanted to also have shutters installed on the second floor. The designer from Closet World that came out was fine and seemed to know what she was talking about. We interacted well and she gave me a nice discount which I was grateful for. I called the Oscar, who had measured the windows, because he gave me his business card. I said, "I really felt good about my interaction with you. Is it okay if you come out and install my blinds?" and he said, "No problem." He came out and installed the blinds. I was surprised that he came out by himself as I thought he was going to need a crew for sure because shutters had to be installed for nine windows. But he did the work and was very professional, and even made some repairs to the ones we already had.

    Oscar and I walked through the house and I asked him some questions on what we needed to do to care for the shutters. He explained that we had a lifetime warranty on the shutters and this is transferable to the buyer of the home should we ever decide to sell it. He was very thorough and rendered good customer service. I was very happy with him and really enjoyed our working together. Closet World did a great job. I'll use them again and recommend them. They're a little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

    We had Closet World install a small upper and lower cabinet in a space in the master bedroom and a large area in the garage. Their designer, Mike, was great. He said, and it’s stated in writing, that we’d be charged 50% upfront when we ordered the cabinets. And upon completion, the balance of the amount would be charged to my credit card. However, they charged the credit card for the second balance. They came with basically everything perfect for the master bedroom but, half of the garage was wrong. Whatever changes Mike put in, apparently the workers were never told or they didn’t double check. Mike didn’t leave my house until we had all the changes in the garage done and the installers were not happy about having to come back.

    From reading Yelp and online reviews, apparently this was a problem with Closet World. They bill people with regularity before the job is complete and it was $2,600. The whole thing was almost $5,500 and Harry, the rep, billed another $2,600 the day that they came to do everything and they couldn’t finish for another 10 days. He lied when he said he would reverse the charges, he didn’t so we had to postpone our move. I don’t care if their prices are cheaper but I would never deal with them again. Mike was honest but Harry was a liar and I don't like being lied to. I don’t care if they gave it to me for free. I’m happy with the product that they delivered although the workers did leave nails and screws all over the driveway. They didn’t take very much time to clean up.

    I knew that they were trying to get the job finished as quickly as possible, but I would fix that because if the neighborhood had flat tires because of all the nails racing down my driveway they wouldn’t be very happy with them or me. I put my online comment public as well but If I had gone there first I probably wouldn’t have used Closet World because what was in there was damaging. We were trying to get the job finished as quickly as possible as we needed to move but realized we did not have enough storage so we weren’t able to move out of one house into the other. They didn’t have the right materials and right sized pieces. It’s interesting that they did it for the master bedroom, but not for the garage and the garage was much more custom pieces.

    Their designer was exceptional, very friendly, and knowledgeable and I really liked him. He made some very good suggestions. If it hadn’t been for him, I probably would have gotten a second quote but it went downhill after that. Now that it’s all done and we’re moved in and settled, we’re happy with the product but we weren’t happy with the experience with the service rep's lying and the delay. He did not tell the truth about the additional 50% that he said would be reversed.

    I would not recommend it but I would say to a friend to go read the online comments. I’m not the only one that has had this happen, which tells me that there’s a control issue somewhere within the company, a lack of oversight and the workers are not being told of changes and not given the right materials. They knew when they got here that they didn’t have the right materials for the garage so that tells me that they were experienced. When I met with the designer I said that we are under a huge time crunch to get it done and he said they’ll fit us in the first opening. I got a phone call later that day and it was two weeks before they could get us in. That’s two weeks and then we had to wait another 10 days after that, so there didn’t seem to be a whole lot of attention paid to the final plans. Overall, it has been a frustrating experience.

    The first time I used Closet World was a good experience but the second time around wasn't. I had three walk-in closets and had alterations in one of the closets. They charged me $200 for that and that was fine. But, I didn't like the closet. It looked unfinished. The quality of the wood was different and I wasn't satisfied with the quality of work. I called their office twice. One, to let them know I wasn't satisfied and the second call to let them know that I needed some repairs done. However, I have to take some responsibility for it because I didn't ask, "Can I get a better feel or a better look on the closets?" When I got it done the first time, I had a better upgrade. I had more trim on it and more crown molding. That's why I called Closet World back out to do my new home but I didn't get the same quality of closets that I had the first time around.

    The salesperson who initially came out to give me the sales pitch did a good measurement. She did what I asked her to do and she got all of my clothes in the closet. But the contractors didn't do a good job. They were sloppy. They didn't clean up behind themselves and I had to be careful and pick up all of the little nails that they had left laying around. Then one of the rails fell and they had to come back down and do that and they made a mess again. I left them doing what they did because the first time around, the guy was good. He tore out the closets, put in new closets, and there wasn't a piece of trash anywhere. If they ever come back out again, I'll micromanage them and make sure when they finished what they do, they pick up their stuff, take their trash with them, and pick up all the nails off the floor.

    We previously had Closet World do our closet in our house, and the installation went great. Now, we had them make a custom-made desk for my daughter and installed a shelf in my laundry, too. But the first attempt to install wasn't good. In the laundry the installer removed the wall base to fit the shelf but never put it back so right now I gotta find and buy a base, cut it off, put it on and paint it. So now, we have a laundry without the base part.

    The installer was a nice guy but the material was damaged. They called us and we told them about it so they came and redid the measurement. But when they came last week, they didn’t have everything ready and the measurement and materials were wrong. Then they came yesterday. My wife asked for different materials but it looks like they installed the same one and especially when I get into the room, I can see that it’s cheap all around. But my wife decided to do the installation because she was frustrated as we need the desk for my daughter. When I got home, she said the material was the same and said "don't talk to me" like she was unhappy. Other than that, the service is great. It took them almost a month to come back and get the desk reinstalled.

    I considered doing the closet work on my own but it wouldn't have been very good, so I decided to go with a professional. One of the deciding factors for me to request a quote was to look at ratings and what people had to say about these companies so I went through Angie's List, looked at reviews and saw that Closet World had a sale. The woman who did the assessment was really nice and also told us right away that she could give us a bigger discount because she was an instructor. But my only complaint was she never asked us what we wanted and it felt like were getting sold up. We had to go a few rounds of saying that what she's saying was not our budget before we came to an agreement on the design and the price, wherein she took stuff out of the job.

    Then another thing I didn't like is that the designer came on a Saturday and they didn't even call me until that following Thursday to schedule an appointment. Then they gave me a date but couldn't give a time. They only told me a time on Thursday. It seemed like they don't give me a lot of time to tell me when they're gonna be there. I presumed that the gal who does the schedule doesn't know how many jobs there are and that they gotta come up with a schedule. They can't come up with schedules until the day before.

    My wife said that during the installation, the guy was really good, fast and clean. He did his thing and left. But I thought about calling because he must have taken the molding off around the corners in the closet which we put in when I remodeled and got new furniture. Maybe the molding was all in small pieces and that he took those in the trash with him. But we had just put the molding in and it was brand new so it couldn't have come off and get stripped. But he obviously took it with him. I would've preferred that he'd asked if he could take it, not just take it. My wife, who was here at the time, said he said nothing about it and that she wasn't watching him either. Apart from those, the work came out really nicely and we've been really happy with the outcome.

    We had a leak inside an adjoining wall between the master bathroom and master bedroom. On the other side of the wall was a Closet World closet system and about 40%-50% of it was completely damaged from the water. We asked Closet World to come over to assess the damages and estimate how much it’s going to cost us. The designer came and took the measurements from the existing part of the closet. Everything was 16 inches. We came up with an agreement and we’re going to pay a set amount of money.

    First time the installers came, they didn’t have the right dimensions because everything they had was 12 inches. When we spoke with someone on the phone, we were told it’s not a big deal and it's really not much different. Are you kidding me? We’re doing a repair. It's not a new design. First, even the baskets are not going to fit in to it because they are 16 inches. Second, how would you like to have half of your blouses or jackets sticking out from the closet? He said if we want to have the 16 inches like we previously had, we’re going to have to pay almost $500 for that. Why do I have to pay additional $500 for someone who is completely not capable to even put the dimensions? It's not my problem someone was idiot and took the wrong measurement. We settled for $300.

    Then the installer didn’t have some other parts, so he had to come back a third time. It took us too long and too much money to spend for a company that is completely unreliable. We are not happy. I would never buy anything from Closet World. The biggest bunch of ** I ever dealt with in my life. I will just stick with them because I cannot use another company if I have an already existing closet.

    I was redoing a house for our customer and they wanted closets. I didn't want to build them so I hired Closet World. They charge too much money and the products are not constructed all that well. There are a lot of particle board. It fits but I wouldn't use them for myself. Also, the designer was a pushy lady that needed her money. She needed quotas or something like that of a very typical salesman.

    After I paid them, I contacted them for a W9 and the guy basically told me to piss off. That was kind of a shock to me because I'm not a big contractor, but we did about a $670,000 job and he was the only one who refused to give me a W9. I would've asked for the W9 before I gave them a dime as a W9 is important. But it wasn't my money so it didn't matter to me that much. I thought the customer was getting a better product than they got. They were happy but I'm not as they don't know any better and I do. I don't hate Closet World but their advertising outshadows their ability to perform well. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

    I met with another closet company and Closet World has the lower price. However, when I was sold the walk-in closet and I paid, I was told that it would be installed at a certain time. I called to confirm that time with my salesperson once and she did. However, a few days before the installation, I was told by the installation team that it would be a different time and that was a big inconvenience. It was very stressful because I had to set up my whole day, take off work, and figure out childcare at that time. In the end, they were able to accommodate me, but there was some miscommunication. Other than that, the installation went fine.

    The people from Closet World were the first that we got a quote from. Their designer spent a lot of time with us measuring and coming up with the details of drawing what we talked about that I wanted. I have a guy that does built-ins and I asked him for a quote and it came in about the same. And because the designer came out and spent all those time measuring, I gave her the job.

    Their installers did a good job too. The only real hiccup as far as the timing was that the installers were supposed to come later in the day, but they ended up showing up pretty early. I was at Costco when they called me so I raced home, but it worked out. Another thing I would make sure that they are very sure of is that they don’t patch the walls from what they took out. It looks really bad so I ended up having somebody come back again. I know that’s part of the deal but it should be really clear to somebody that’s getting their closets done. It should be clear that they won’t take what they removed either.

    I'm a Closet World return customer and wanted to have cabinets. We started with the cabinets in the garage and I showed their rep the totes that we've put all the Christmas stuff in which would fit in a 24-inch cabinet. She did all her measuring and said that there was enough space on one side to have a 29-inch closet. But she wrote it for three 36-inch cabinets instead of 24-inch, so I can't get as much into them. It was not what I really wanted.

    My experience with Closet World is pretty good overall. The designer was very good, and the material and the look of the closet is very good, too. However, I wasn’t completely happy about the installation. It was not as smooth and quick as I thought it would be. I didn't know that when they removed the previous closet, they didn't patch and paint. So, I wasn't prepared because I need to patch and paint the walls which now look awkward. And I'm still waiting for something to be completed for an outlet. They have come and saw that was missing. It was an error on the designer’s part and I have to change an electrical outlet.

    I was also very surprised to see that the project was pretty big but they only sent one man to complete it. He had to complete it in three days. And he started pretty late every day at about 12:00 because he was coming from another job. I have used California Closet before and they brought a whole team. They started early and tried to finish the same day as much as they could.

    Closet World is the sole company in my area that could provide the type of installation that I wanted for my closet, so I chose their company. The designer was very helpful in bringing out a sample of the product and went over the designs with me. That was good. However, I was not satisfied with the actual product once it was delivered to my house. The team was on time and the installation was completed; however, there was some damage to some of the shelving. I was told initially someone would come back, but they refused. What they decided to do was send me some additional shelving through the mail.

    My real issue and complaint with the closet was that it was not the quality that was shown in the demonstration and the sample that was brought. It is a very cheap material which they told me is the same, but there is no way, and I was very disappointed in that. The product that they bring out as a sample should definitely be the same as what I'm paying for. When I called back to inquire about the quality and wanted to find out what my options were after the installation, the salesperson didn't want to deal with me and said that was between me and the actual company to call them. I wouldn't recommend Closet World to anybody.

    My girlfriend used Closet World a few years ago and didn't say anything bad about it. Then the company had a special on the coupons they send out, so I went with that. I had looked at Home Depot but their cost was higher, they wouldn't deliver it to the house and I would've had to put everything in myself or ask the grumpy husband to help me. Also, their product was a bit more of an entailed closet type, which would've been overkill, instead of what I got from Closet World which was what I needed.

    I had Closet World put a whole closet unit on one whole wall and then drawers, places for shoes and purses in one of our spare bedrooms. I loved the designer! She was amazing and kind. What a sweetheart. We got along right when she walked in the door. I told her I had a real small budget but once I took her into the room and told her what I wanted, she put it together. She knew exactly what I needed just by looking at the room. I was really impressed with her. I would like to use her again if I could ever get a few more things done at the house.

    The installer was also very good and sweet. He got in there, did his work and was in and out - no wasted time. He also cleaned up nicely, which was good for a guy because most of them don't. He helped me too because when it was gonna get a little out of my budget, he suggested to not put a back on it and just attach it to my wall. That saved me a lot of money, which I really appreciated. He was wonderful. The unit is rock solid and wonderful. It's a difference between night and day when I go in that room and finally see everything that I had wanted to put on. It's like a little fairy tale closet which I'm sure all girls would like to have.

    Tara ** was the sales rep from Closet World that came to our home, late Dec, to give us an estimate for garage cabinets and flooring. We let her know that we had to stay within a budget for this project and that we also had an appointment with Home Depot for an estimate as well. She proceeded to take all the necessary measurements and inspect our garage and then gave us a quote that worked with our budget and ensured us that this would be completed within 2-3 weeks. Because she met our requirements we cancelled the other estimate.

    When the installers arrived they were not able to do anything because Ms. ** not only submitted inaccurate measurements, blocking the ability to open a garage door, but she failed to tell us that piping along the back wall would mean that the cabinets could not be installed correctly, but rather have to stick out by a substantial amount. The piping in clear view and something that she should have both seen upon inspection, and discussed with us as an issue and probable expense we would have prior to the install. She also failed to note and discuss with us outlets that would need to be moved for us to have any power in the garage.

    We had to hire a handyman, putting us outside our budget by a substantial amount, to move forward, and then wait for the correct size of cabinets to arrive. When we attempted to follow up with her (because she didn't update us, or even apologize for her error), we were given a client number, told we would have to contact the service department for any help and that the matter was out of her hands. We were also informed that our new cabinet order was reported by Tara as a "customer change", instead of a measurement error on her part, which made our job less of a priority and we were pushed behind all other open orders. Full payment for cabinets had been taken at this point, and they refused to reverse the charge.

    To date the floors have not been installed and we have been told once again to call the service dept ourselves but not to expect delivery or install for at least a month. For this project we have moved everything from the garage into our home. We were told when placing the order that the job would be complete in Jan and as of today there is no completion date. Tara has never once apologized. She has been rude, completely unhelpful, cost us a substantial amount of money we had not budgeted for, and caused a lot of stress with the inconvenience of having our home in disarray for such a long period of time. We were told today that if we go through someone else to get the job completed we will be penalized and forfeit monies paid.

    I ordered a Home Office from Closet World before I read any reviews. Don't go on their website to look at the review because those are all good reviews that they handpicked from their small amount of satisfied customers. Maybe those review are not even real. The first problem I had with them was when the designer came out to my home. When he took the measurements and started designing the Home Office. I told him what I wanted very clearly. I told the designer that I would have a desktop here and to make sure there would be enough room for the monitor, keyboard and mouse. I also made sure to tell him that it should be comfortable and I would not have to sit at a weird angle where I have to completely bend my back just to face the screen. He assured me that wouldn't be a problem.

    The office turned out terrible and as if the designer had ignored everything I told him, even the install crew were surprised. They didn't understand how I was supposed to sit and work at this desk. My only mistake in this situation was signing the final documents and not thoroughly reviewing the design plan. The Home Office Closet World made for me was exactly the opposite of what I told the designer. I have been trying schedule an appointment for two months now, each time I call they tell me that they scheduled an appointment to come out and see the problem but no one shows up.

    I had a very bad experience with Closet World (CW). I wanted a home office that would be custom made to my needs and this was not what I ended up with. The following is a summary of some of the complaints that I have: 1) Designer never understood my needs; 2) Office design was not designed to my needs or expectations; 3) The installation was promised on a certain date and the order was never placed; 4) Measurements were not taken correctly. Important things like space for other drawers to open and main light switches were overlooked when creating office design. Different pieces had to be ordered twice; 5) CW did not have the handles that were recommended by designer until after 2 months later; 6) Delays by CW turned a 3 week project into a 3 month project.

    7) Poor quality and very expensive. The discounts are a scam; 8) Communication with CW designer, central office and installers was very disconnected. Nobody knew what was going on. Designer is not responsible for anything once the customers signature dries; 9) CW charged the credit card without prior approval; and 10) I missed many days of work because of all of these issues.

Secondly, the installer came to my appointment two hours late. The reason being that my project was scattered throughout the warehouse, so he left late in the morning. Mind you, I was called three times by the company to see if I wanted my installation earlier. The next installation date, I was called by the scheduling supervisor in the morning to confirm the time.

    After waiting until 7:30pm and still no sign of anyone, I called yet again and was told they would call me back in 10 minutes. Of course, no call ever came nor did the installers ever show up. Finally, attempting to call them back at 8:30, they had all left and went home for the day. Not only did they not show up for the appointment, they did not even have the decency to call and cancel. Instead, each time I was strung along saying they were on their way only to never even show. Save yourself a headache and stay far far away from this company.

    I purchased a closet from Closet World for a small spare bedroom. I was not home when the installer got there, so they asked my husband which room and he did not know the location so they put it in the master bedroom. I called and made a complaint of how could this happen when they have paperwork with all the details. I told the manager they should have called me if they had questions about the location. He said that was my husband responsibility to contact me. I explain that my husband was an elderly person 91 years of age and he thought they knew what they was going to do.

    After they agreed to move the closet to right room they left damages where they had previous installed the closet, to the wall and floor. The manager said they were not liable and was not going to pay or repair the damage. Damage consist of holes in wall, drapery torn down from window and holes in carpet along with wall base being remove. The manager said that is my home and I am responsible for the damages. I will never use them again.

    Sales rep from Closet World came out to our house: We explained to her we wanted to have beveled glass wardrobe mirrors installed in two rooms that matched the beveled mirror we already have over the sink area. We thought our request was absolutely clear. Unfortunately for us, we did not go over the final contract with a fine toothcomb. Once we signed on the dotted line, that's how the mirrors were ordered, without beveled glass. :( The sales rep overlooked entering "Bevel". In fact she circled "N" for no, no beveled glass. Unbelievable! I came home from work to see just plain glass installed, and I mean "plain glass". We could of spent less money (-$800) and ordered beveled glass from Lowe's, but we thought Closet World would be a more professional experience. Wrong!

    I am very frustrated with Closet World. Partly my mistake for not cancelling in 3 days but I had every intention of moving forward with the purchase. I put a $1,500 deposit down on this order and then sometime afterward, after purchasing my new home and paying addition towards the closing and other expenses, determined that I could not follow through with the closets. I called requesting to cancel and be refunded. Their customer service person said she would fill out the paperwork because I could not locate mine and then have a manager call me. I waited and no call. I call again and speak to another person in which she also said she would have a manager call in 3 days. I waited, no call. Another week goes by and I call again and state the same thing.

    Finally after about 15 minutes of being on hold I finally get the regional sales manager and he tells me I cannot get a refund of my money and I'm obligated to the $7,800 order I signed contract for. That's all fine and dandy if life does not happen but it does. So with his kind permission I may use the $1,500 on something else I may not need. All this to say I would not recommend Closet World because they obviously don't care about the customer only about their sales. Only work with companies that are flexible and know that life may happen. I will try and use something with this $1500 I am obligated to, but will never, ever purchase anything with this company again!

    I remodeled my garage on February 2014. The work was done by Garage Envy and the agreement indicated lifetime warranty for the cabinets, and 1 year warranty for the flooring. I called Garage Envy, but the call was answered by Closet World. I ran a short investigation (called the designer who designed my garage) and learned Closet World acquired Garage Envy in April 2014. Closet World pretends to be Garage Envy, but they're not. Furthermore, they refused to honor the warranty; they don't do epoxy floors at all AND they charge for any service for the cabinets...

    I read on Yelp that Garage Envy was acquired, but then someone from Closet World responded by saying Garage Envy went out of business which nothing but a BIG LIE. I talked to 2 additional ex-Garage Envy designers (who already work for other companies and who refused to go work for Closet World) and the Garage Envy installer who did the work in my garage (This amazing guy took the responsibility and came to our home to fix the cabinet FREE OF CHARGE!!!!). All ex Garage Envy employees confirm Closet World's acquisition of Garage Envy was completed last April. I also checked with the Secretary of State, and Garage Envy Inc. has been dissolved few months ago. Closet World is only using the brand name, website and phone number to lure customers into thinking they're getting the high-end service offered by Garage Envy in the past.

    Upon signing the contract, I paid $2500 in advance for a set of garage cabinets. They originally delivered the products with lots of shortages and mismatches. Their measurements were wrong and I had paid for the larger items. Installer wanted to cut them in place to fit. I disagreed and asked to shrink two of them so they all match together. This was agreed upon them delivering some wall panels to compensate the extra charges. They left to come back 2 weeks later with shrunk ones. There were still larger doors still and shortage of other doors and table and drawers. They agreed for compensating me instead of the shrunk sizes of my cabinets to cover my small wall with their wall products. They come and go every two weeks for over 2 months and always with some problems.

    Finally without doing the extra they had promised, they installed the product. While I was expecting a call of completion or later delivery, instead I noticed on my AMEX card a charge of the remaining $2500 from a month before the product was installed. This violates their agreement with the compensating for what they had charged me vs. what they delivered. Also violates the fact that they had no permission from me charging my account. I disputed it with AMEX. This guy Daren in charge of installers is a crook when it comes to dealing with customers. So make sure this is not the company you want around your house.

    After my initial meeting with Amy from Closet World, I went back online as I knew I had seen some negative reviews about this company but wanted to research them more thoroughly. I'm glad I did. I had mentioned to my design consultant Amy (who constantly kept informing me how lucky I was to have her there because she was an Executive with the company that they had called her to come out specifically for my appointment) that I had heard some negative things about Closet World. In fact I thought I was enlisting the services of a company called Garage Envy but it seems Closet World acquired them a few years ago.

    I felt I was very clear about what I wanted but felt she wasn't hearing me as she continued to remind me of my good fortune in having an Executive with the company in my garage doing the measurements. Never have I seen a tape measure fly so fast. When I questioned her about a measurement in regard to the overhead door and it's curve she said it was right and I shouldn't worry as I had an Executive from the company measuring for me. She then proceeded to tell me about her Uncle that played Major League Ball and how he may be the one to replace Vin Scully when he retires. Having told me that same thing about five times, she then proceeded to tell me that she could offer me a 40% discount and her Executive discount of 30% as well. I said so what you're telling me is that I'm going to get 70% off? No she said it's 68%. I'm no mathematical genius but 30 plus 40 is 70. I asked when she'd get back to me with the design and she said she was going to do it then and there. I offered a seat at the kitchen table and a glass of water and she started designing.

    When she gave me the plans I asked what about the ribbon racks, where my island table etc. She said that wasn't a problem. She then said it would be 10,000.00 dollars but with the 40% and her EXECUTIVE discount of 30 it would only be $4500.00 dollars. I asked her about the cabinets and hardware and she said that will be 28% more for this and 18% more for that and kept going on about how nice my house was etc. When I asked how long the discount was for, she said it's usually only for the day but since she is an Executive with the company she could extend it possibly until the third of the month but being an Executive she knew how to override the system to accept the discounts so I would in fact receive it. By the time she finally left I was exhausted and overwhelmed and felt oversold and under designed. She also had the audacity to say that the bad reviews were from their competitors trying to make them look bad.

    I had a woman from one of their competitors at my home earlier in the day that couldn't have been lovelier. She was accurate, listened to what I needed and said she would get back to me once she had time to create my space. This a space I've waited for, for a very long time. It has to be right and functional. I'm glad I reread these reviews and after my experience with an Executive with Closet World I can assure they won't be getting my business. If their workmanship, customer relationships and PR are as bad as all the other consumers have stated I'd be out of my mind to do business with them even if I was working with an Executive with the company. I'd lose my mind if I had to talk to Amy all day and God forbid there be a problem because I wouldn't know who to call as she is an Executive .

    Closet World's designer measured for cabinets in our garage. When I inquired about whether the cabinets would sit flush to the floor or be raised several inches above the floor (as I had seen in the catalog), she assured me by email that the cabinets would be flush to the floor, notched around a concrete baseboard. When the installers showed up, they said, "No, garage cabinets are actually suspended five inches above the floor and mounted to the wall. Otherwise, they won't be level because the flooring is not level. This was fine with me. It is actually a better look and it allows for the flooring (in our case, commercial carpeting) to be replaced when needed. It also makes the workbench at a better height for my 6'2" husband. The cabinets and work bench are good quality, so we were pleased.

    The day after installation, we realized that by raising the cabinets five inches off the floor; one cabinet now blocked access to a door in our furnace that must be opened to pull out and replace the filter. I called Closet World and fortunately, had the email from the designer to prove that she had measured based on the cabinets sitting on the floor. Closet World, to their credit, agreed to replace the one cabinet at no charge. But when the installers showed up with the replacement, they realized the doors were the wrong size. So now I am waiting for a third visit to replace the doors.

    We used Closet World in North San Diego for 2 master closets and a large garage cabinet. Let me first state they blow away competition (CA closets) in price. The product is far superior to do-it-yourself (ClosetMaid), but probably not quite as good as CA Closets.

    Pros:

    * Very customized: Wall to wall, ceiling to floor. A lot of drawer, shelf and hang options.
    * Price: Very good for custom closets.

    * Installer: Our installer (Mohammed) and others who came know how to build closets. Very fast and good.

    Cons:

    * Long design process: They use paper, not computers, for designs. They should fix this.

    * Multiple trips: They should carry more spare parts to better ensure a one trip install.

    My recommendation is yes, go with Closet World for big closets. Double check the measurements and diagrams they leave with you so you can correct and change things as early as possible before the install date.

    My experience with Closet World from the beginning hasn't been pleasant. The lady, named Leslie, who came out to give the estimate, asked for two checks, one to deposit and one for when it was completed. I wrote her three that day due to one being the wrong amount originally (we ripped that one up). She also got pen ink on my couch. She kept looking around my house and saying how nice it was and asked me how I afforded it being so young. I am older than I look and it's none of her business how I afford it (I teach, and nanny but that's none of her business). Then two weeks later, she called me screaming, I mean literally yelling at me saying I didn't write her checks. I was more than happy to pay her or rewrite checks if she lost them, but she insisted that she didn't and said she would put a lien on my house and on and on. She was really nasty for no reason and when I hung up the phone, my heart was pounding. I paid her again immediately and that was that.

    Then when Closet World came to install the doors, the doors were the wrong ones and the wrong measurements for my master bedroom. Two weeks more, I finally got my doors installed. 3.5 years later, both doors have come off the tape or glue holding them onto the frame. One door I can barely open as the picture shows it isn't connected. I need to get to my clothes as I work most days. This has been an inconvenience but I'm getting around it. Then when I called to get the doors fixed, it's a runaround, talking to multiple departments, getting disconnected, having to call 5 times to finally get told the guy won't be coming that night to measure the doors. He was supposed to be there at 6. He showed up at 9 pm.

    Now Byron tells me the measurements don't match up and the frame is supposed to be silver. The backing and track have always been white, nothing has changed. My guest room has silver frames. It is beyond frustrating. I just want to be able to open and close my closet doors and have the mirrors attached to the backing. Please help. My doors are under warranty. I feel like Closet World doesn't want to fix what they installed. This should be an easy fix since it seems like tape held them on in the first place? I've sent Byron multiple pictures. The sticker on the back of the doors matches the sticker in my guest room. Closet World installed them, Closet World should repair them.

    No one from Closet World has responded to this letter although Byron said he sent it to his supervisor, Ken. I did call and get an appointment finally for them to come out and fix the doors. They claim their paperwork is never incorrect, but originally in 2008, Leslie took the wrong measurements down and the wrong doors were brought. The doors had to be returned; a few weeks later CW returned with the right doors. I always have to call. Closet World doesn't call you if there is a problem or return calls, or call back when they say they will. It is very frustrating to deal with this company.

    On Oct. 15, 2012, Ken set up an appointment for CW to finally be here between 4 to 6. I called at 4 to verify they would be here and was told it would be closer to 6 as the installer was 2 hrs. away in Santa Clara. They didn't show up or call to say they weren't going to. This is a terrible company to do business with. No one apologizes or takes accountability for one's actions.

    On Oct. 17, 2012, the installer showed up at 7:30, a half hr. past the 5-7 window I was given. He was very nice, but he came with the wrong doors. He came with the guest room's doors! He did remove my closet doors but they were too big and heavy for him to take downstairs and to his truck by himself, so they are now leaning against a couch in my guest room.

    Closet World does not apologize when these things happen. The installer did, but the manager, Ken, hasn't. Byron, the guy who argued with me over the measurements and didn't listen to me when I told him he was looking at the guest room paperwork, has not apologized. He's just rude when you talk to him. Rafael, the install manager, has not apologized for not showing up or calling to say they wouldn't show the other evening. Raul who measured for the replacement doors only measured in my master bedroom so it makes no sense that they ordered doors for my guest room. This company is all screwed up. This company is horrible! The installer who came last night said they were underpaid and treated poorly by the management. He said he'd get in trouble for not taking the doors with him, but they each weigh 80 lbs. and are 8 ft. tall.

    You are better off going with any other company! Do not use Closet World! It will be Oct. 29th or 31st before they return with the correct doors.

    I met with the designer. She came to my home and assured me that this company was topnotch, even after I told her I had concerns regarding the reviews I read. 30 days later, all my clothes were packed away in the garage and my work schedule adjusted to accommodate the install. They called that morning and said sorry, the product was damaged? They rescheduled for the following two weeks and the product arrived. It is all wrong! The designer's measurements were incorrect. She said, "Have them wait and I will come over and check it out." She said, "Oh well, things like this happen." So now I have taken off work for two days to accommodate installation with no product installed.

    My clothes, shoes, everything were packed in my garage for over a month! She and the install manager told me on the phone that they will remake on the product overnight in their shop (right) and to go ahead and leave my house unlocked, while I go to work so that they can come install the product the next day! Are you kidding me! Two weeks later, I took another day off work and they came to install. It was not what I ordered. It is missing the top shelves and because the original design measurements were incorrect, they had to take off by 5 inches. Now they installed the lowered product and my clothes hang on the ground. Wow! And to think we paid them in full! This was not a fantasy experience. I would think twice about them and I will never use them again.

    Based on a recommendation from a friend, I contacted Closet World to do one closet. The design person, Amy, came and was friendly enough but while she was measuring, she started talking about an uncle of hers who was a professional baseball player and later a broadcaster. I tried to steer the conversation away from her uncle and to the measuring process. When the installer, Jaime came, he said the measurements were wrong. That was the first clue that the installation was in trouble. Jaime then told us about removing the clothes rod and support material and said that it needed to be patched and painted or I would see holes in the wall. That is something that the designer should've told me initially and I would've taken care of it prior to the installation. I had Jaime call his supervisor, Raul, who told my wife that, "Once the clothes and shoes are in, you won't see the holes."

    The supervisor said that I could buy backing material, but because of some type of promotion, it would be cheaper. I'd already paid 50% deposit so I was stuck. But, to Raul's credit, he called back and said the backing would be free. That certainly was the correct thing to do for P/R, but I wouldn't use the company again. Jaime, the installer, did a nice job and was extremely clean and neat. Lastly, the company demands final payment before the work begins. I almost fell over because two days prior, I had about $10,000 of carpet installed and the sales person said, "Check the work. Look closely for anything that you don't like before you make the final payment." Am I wrong to think that final payment should be made after the work is completed?

    Believe every negative word you read about Closet World! They have the absolute worst customer service and quality ever! I am a repeat customer. They built a great closet for me in 1995. I recently moved and was in the market for a new closet, so I decided to check out a few companies and searched online for reviews. After reading all the negative comments about CW and addressing the issue with the designer Jeanie, I was convinced the people online had nothing better to do than to complain. The designer was so down to earth and mellow that I decided to go ahead and take a chance. Mistake. After all, my experience in '95 was positive and the quality was good.

    Raul, the installation/production manager is unbelievably rude and has a "take it or leave it, lady" attitude. The installer called him to say one of the measurements appeared to be wrong. Raul told me it was correct, that I should have rechecked the revision. If I didn't pay the entire bill upon arrival, not installation, he would tell the installer to leave the job! If I didn't like it, it would be too bad. Really. He said this and I agreed because my clothes were all over the house and I had waited weeks for the closet. My bad. Raul must get paid to turn people away! The installer told me he has problems all the time because the designers never get the measurements right and that the company doesn't care about the customers! This is the installer who was sent to do a three-hour install by himself. It actually took five days to get it completed! Workmanship and quality are awful.

She referred me to her salesperson and I loved working with her. She listened and designed exactly what I wanted.

I did asked my salesperson about the complaints and she acknowledged that problems crop up from time to time as in any business.

    First of all, I purchased custom closets for two bedrooms. When the installer came to install them, they informed me that backing was not included and that this was a separate charge. I and my husband were under the impression that the backing was included in our purchase because the sales representative showed us a model of what the closet organizer would look like and it had backing on it. At no time was the word backing mentioned nor were we given the option to purchase. It was not even stated in our contract that backing was not included.

    Anyway, we contacted the office and a Byron answered the call. He was very rude, argumentative and failed to offer any other solutions to our dilemma besides asking for an additional $500. I felt that as a representative of this company, he really did not care whether we, as customers, were satisfied with their business or product. What ever happened to customer satisfaction? Well, based on my conversation with him, I requested to speak to his manager which I believe was just another supervisor and not the manager.

    I was transferred to a Ken ** who also was rude and argumentative and implied that we misunderstood and would have to pay additional money if we wanted backing. After using a few choice words, I asked if we could cancel our purchase and he stated no. We would either have to have them continue with the installation or lose our money which was $1,178. At first my husband and I discussed taking them to small claims court but then decided to have them go ahead and put the closet in. I mean what else could go wrong?

    What else could go wrong? Well, the installer first asked for the final payment up front. I told him that I was not paying for a job that was not completed. He checked with the company and said okay. Then he put a hole in my wall and failed to tell us. When I brought it to his attention, he acted like he did not know that he did that and that he could not understand the English language. A day later, as I was placing clothes in the closet, I noticed that one of the bottom shelves was placed in the shelf unit upside down. I turned the shelf over and noticed a BIG hole in the wood. The installer evidently tried to hide the hole so that we would not see it. I was very upset and now had to call the company again and speak to these rude folks.

    I took pictures and called them. I asked for Ken but got that rude rep Byron. We argued about the closet and what shelving unit I was talking about. He argued that I only had one and I told him I had two. Nevertheless, after five minutes of arguing, he figured it out and told me to take measurements and call or email him the info so that he could have another shelf mailed. I was going to insist that they come out but really did not want to deal with these people again so I decided to take a chance and hope that my husband takes the correct measurements and that Byron gave us the correct email address and that we receive it in the mail. Today is 2/3/2012 and I plan to email them the measurements tomorrow. I will let you know if and when I receive it and if all is okay. I highly recommend that no one who is in their right mind use this company.

    Closet World set up a date for installation and didn’t keep it. They didn’t call until two weeks later. I should have known right there. On the new day of installation I could not get there until later in the afternoon. My wife let them in and they said they would do the installation and collect the remainder when they were finished. They didn’t have the handles for all the drawers (17). I withheld $500.00 of the $4200.00 contract for them to finish. Assuming the handles were $10.00 each, plus travel and installation cost, that seems reasonable to me.

    The supervisor immediately called me back. After a long shouting match he threatened to have the guy return and remove my cabinets. I told him he would not be allowed back into my house until he had all the material. He said he would have his supervisor call me the following Monday which never happened. When the handles came in they called for installation.

    I explained to the scheduler the back panels did not match up properly to the cabinet and to make sure they brought the proper caulking. They installed the handles but did not bring it the caulking. I told him I would give him $300.00 of the $500.00, keeping the rest as retention but he left without anything, very pissed off, squealing his tires out of my driveway and down the street. They wanted all the money before installation and I am so glad I kept the proper retention. I am not sure they will ever come back to finish. They have my credit card number. Should I be worried? Where do I go from here? I just want the closet finished!

They couldn't get finished, until about 7 PM. While one worked upstairs, another started downstairs. When I went downstairs, it looked nothing like I had discussed with the "designer". It was 2 large storage like boxes. I had discussed I wanted a liquor bar, with display shelves above. They had wrong dimensions, etc. I told them to stop, and called the supervisor. They said they needed different parts. No one called, so I called, and was told that they had installed. I checked my credit card, and saw that they had broken the contract, and charged before installation. I called the credit card company and my attorney. They are trying to say that they will make it right. I don't think they know how. I wish I had checked for complaints first.
