" Rise and shine to an organized life".

Every morning you get up and walk into the same situation — a cluttered closet that’s messy, unorganized and wastes time — time you spend trying to figure out what to wear instead of what to do with your day.

Make your life a little easier by not just dreaming of having a beautifully organized closet, but by making it a reality. Closet City, a company that’s been designing and manufacturing quality closet systems for close to a quarter of a century, can help you achieve your dream.

As the storage industry continues to evolve, the company is thrilled to share new products with its customers -- and lately there have been a lot of new innovations to share.

Janet Stevenson, a design consultant with the company for over 15 years, is especially excited about the new real-wood product line the company is offering. “We now have three real woods to choose from: hard maple, natural cherry and a gorgeous walnut,” she says. “We’ve also added some wood-grain styles to our line of melamine choices, in shades like Summer Flame, Candlelight, and a luscious Chocolate Peartree. There’s no end to the wood combinations and color selections you can choose from.”

Closet City is partnered with a local custom paint-and-stain shop, so the company can build custom closet systems and have them painted whatever color the client desires. Unfinished wood can also be stained to match existing trim in the room or a favorite table, desk or dresser. The opportunities to create different looks are endless.

Other high-end accents that can be added to dress up a storage system include custom cabinetry, decorative side panels, glass doors, crown moulding, fluted columns and countertops like Corian, granite, and marble. “All of our storage systems are custom-built using high-quality, furniture-grade materials,” says Stevenson. “These products come with a lifetime guarantee — a perk we’ve been proud to provide to our customers since 1984.”

Of course, what would a stylish new closet or custom wall unit be without amenities that offer a little extra bling? Closet City provides many new accessories and hardware items that are not only convenient and efficient but also add contrast, sparkle and sophistication.

“An ironing board may just look like your average ironing board — but we have one that folds up into a drawer to maximize space,” says Stevenson. “We also carry state-of-the-art styles of pant, tie, and belt racks, lighted closet rods, a spiral clothing rack that jazzes up a corner, and a jewelry cabinet that can be hidden behind a slim, decorative panel.”

Always striving to improve its customer service, Closet City has also expanded its staff during this past year. With the addition of another installation crew and truck, the company is better able to meet the ever-demanding organizational needs of its customers.

Another innovation includes the expansion of the company’s Web site, which is currently undergoing upgrades and will provide visitors with storage advice, a helpful monthly newsletter, and an extensive collection of photos to view. Customers can use this online portfolio to narrow down the options that are most appropriate for their project -- it will also help them get a sense of how a Closet City closet can really change life for the better.

To see what all the excitement is about for yourself. The company’s newly renovated showroom at 619 Bethlehem Pike in Montgomeryville features 11 different displays, which allow customers to discover why Closet City is a trendsetter in the closet system industry.
