How much does a DIY closet system like ClosetMaid’s BrightWood collection cost?

Quick Answer

It depends on the size of your space and accessories, but plan on a budget from as low as $100 and up to $1,000+.

Components of a BrightWood Closet System

  • Tower
  • Hang rods
  • Doors
  • Drawers
  • Shoe shelves
  • Top shelves
  • Corner unit

The basis for most BrightWood closet systems is the tower unit. It comes in two widths: 16 inches and 25 inches, so you can choose the best one for your closet. The hang rods, where you hang your clothes, attach to the tower. You can also add drawers and doors to the tower for hidden storage.
