Overall, we had a great experience working with Colleen and the team. We love our new closet organization. Would definitely recommend it!

I hired Closets by Design for a custom 6 year old's closet. They had a promotion and the catalogue looked promising. Plus- my interior designer referred them as a moderate priced closet shop. The first designer (a young woman- seemed inexperienced) rendered a design that was fine as far as I could tell- but left a ton of negative space (e.g. 5-6 feet) above the cabinatry. When the installers did the job, the drawers bumped up against the doors- so a full redesign was required. On the 2nd design, the final option was TOO HIGH for my daughter to reach much of the hanging + shelving. The job cost $2,200 with little to no quality control or oversight of the design process. The company uses HAND DRAWN designs (haven't integrated to digital design tools) and it was nearly impossible to verify the design was right. For this kind of hassle- I recommend going to IKEA a working with a specialist there. You'll save both time AND money. read more

Everything was just great! We bought our Condo and the closets were being held up by shower rods and wires. Closets by Designs came in and gave us exactly what we needed and did it in under an hour. We had two closets redone, one in our Master/Laundry Combo and one in our Office. I love them! Thank you Closets by Design, you did it again!!! Elizabeth Rodriguez read more

We just had our laundry room installed with Closets by Design and I couldnt be happier!! Our designer Sue Gracia was nothing short of amazing to work with. Not only is she super knowledgeable, she had fantastic ideas of how to best utilize our space and stay within our budget, and she is also so sweet and has a lovely personality!! Our install guy Matt, was also great to work with, very personable and got everything installed pretty quickly and zero mess left over! We had an issue with the cabinet pulls that I bought, but he was able to get back and finish the next day. I'm already starting to plan the next project and I will definitely be consulting Sue again!! read more

Amazing Job. Barbara was so responsive & wonderful to work with. I told her my love of oil bronze hardware & she went beyond what she needed to do to call the warehouse & ask if they had the oil bronze rods from prior offering. They found them & my closet looks amazing!!!! I was planning on only doing part of the closet but it looked so good that I ended up doing whole closet! Mario did wonderful detailed work & I specifically requested him again for the second install. Financing was wonderful & made the new closet's so affordable. Ask for Barbara & Mario!!! You will not regret it. read more

From the first visit to our home by Pete H., who was thorough with his consultation, responsive to our wants/needs and fantastic with suggestions, to our installation with Mario, who worked fast and was precise and left everything clean, we couldn't be more happy with Closets by Design. So happy with the results. Wonderful. Thanks Pete and Mario. We will recommend Closets by Design for sure! read more

Colleen did a great job of maximizing the space in my oddly shaped walking closet. I also had her design cabinet area in laundry room. Highly recommend! read more

One of my most satisfied purchases. The install went quickly and very clean. The installer was amazing and liked my dog and cat. They liked her too. I love the end result. I need to change my light fixture but other than that it's great. Would definitely recommend. From the design to the install they kept me informed and things were pretty easy. She actually hand drew the design in graph paper very quickly. I like that old school from her. lol. read more

Sue representing closets by design is a simply outstanding representative. Every question was answered promptly and correctly. The layout and design she coordinated mats perfect with the installer. We could not be happier. Closet by design you have a diamond in the rough with Sue. Thank you again Pat and Wanda read more

Closets by Design created a beautiful bench and organization system in my mudroom/pantry. Kristie created a bench with cubbies for kids' backpacks on top and cooler storage underneath, and Matt did an amazing job installing the system. The system was installed in February and it is working GREAT 6 months later. Zero issues! And I have two huge teenage boys who are not gentle on things! read more

ordered display & storage cabinets for my sitting room. paid over $6,000. when installed I questioned how some of the drawers seemed unstable. also the drawers didn't all line up. asked installer about it & he said to call service to have them come out & check. which I found odd as he was onsite & just installed the units. Sue G., sales rep., never called to see how we liked the unit nor if we had questions. A few days later we noticed about 50 screw pops in an exact outline of the new installed cabinets on the adjacent wall. Service didn't come out to see it, only said installer did a good job & then offered to MAYBE PARTIALLY REIMBURSE US if we get an estimate to repair wall. I suggest everyone simply buy standalone furniture rather than use a questionable company like Closets by Design. read more

Thank you Closets by Design for elevating my closet to the next level! The designer did a wonderful job and made sure I was totally satisfied. When the gentleman came to build the closet he was courteous, neat and made sure the closet met with my approval. The pricing was excellent and now I am truly happy with my gorgeous new closet! read more

We had Closets by Design install a closet system in our master bedroom and they built a stand alone closet system in our recently finished basement. It has been life changing! They are both beautiful and CBD did an excellent job! We weren't sure exactly what we wanted initially and Colleen 's designs and recommendations were perfect! highly recommend their services! read more

We have used closet by design for two separate projects and have loved the results. We had them build out our master closets and our nursery closet. We doubled the closet space and it was so nice to get everything organized. This fall, we had them install a mudroom organizer and it looks incredible. Colleen Green is honestly incredible and she took our vision and turned it into a reality. Thank you closets by design and Colleen! read more

Fantastic experience from start to finish. We were looking for an organization system for our daughters' shared closet space. Our consultant Eileen came to our house, measured the space, asked thoughtful questions about our storage needs, and put together a great closet design right on the spot. She had wonderful ideas and was very mindful of our budget. The system was ready just a few weeks later as promised. Our installer arrived right on time, did a great job, and only took an hour to put everything together. Such a smooth, easy process - we couldn't be happier! read more

Ruth was amazing! Our project was small but that didn't matter. She got in touch right away, set up an appointment and have us a quote the same day. She was also able to schedule installation at that time. Very fair price and excellent service. The installation was a breeze and Eric handled it perfectly. He arrived on time and was quick and clean. Highly recommended! read more

We had a a great experience with Closets by Design for our entire home and I particularly love how our primary bedroom closet turned out. Kathy Cappas, our designer, had very helpful ideas and was meticulous about getting all of the measurements correct for each closet. She was also patient and thorough with any change I wanted to make. Even the installers, said that she did a great job making it easier for them. And speaking of installation, Paul, lead installer, and Joe, assistant, worked very hard (even working through lunch) to get our big job completed in only two days. Paul's efficiency in having prepared materials ahead of time and skill in his fast, yet correct, calculations were impressive. Both Paul and Joe were very careful not to scratch walls when carrying many heavy boards upstairs. We highly recommend Closets by Design. See photos below. Note: We purchased hardware and countertop (not shown) on our own. read more

The sales person was very friendly and we enjoyed the negotiation process. That being said, if you don't negotiate the price down you will overpay big time! We cut the original starting price in half and I still thing there was room to go lower. The installation went very smooth and the installer did a great job. We are very satisfied with the product and would recommend to anyone. read more

I can highly recommend Closets by Design to anyone looking for a very high quality storage solution. I worked with Kathy, Jamie, and Paul to create and finalize my design. I went with their integrated LED solution which as you can see from the photo, was an excellent choice. The installer was incredibly talented, professional, and didnt leave one stray mark on any of my walls in my home. Thank you Jeremy! Wenare now working on a multi-wall solution for my garage. Thank you to everyone at Closets by Design. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed. read more

Install date: March 23rd, 2024. One main bedroom walk-in closet. One office walk-in closet. One basic home entryway coat closet. Two installers. Total time spent/man-hours/labor for install = 7 hours. Cost: $12,991.00. Value: $0.00. Materials are cheap pressed partical board (think sawdust) covered in synthetic laminate material. Overall, the shelving material is absolute junk. DO NOT ALLOW THIS COMPANY TO PERFORM YOUR SHELVING REMOVAL! THEY WILL DESTROY YOUR WALLS! Read your contract very very carefully. I am letting everyone in my hometown of Rockford, Illinois know how this place does business. Despicable! Check out these pictures and see for yourself! Yep, I know, partly my own fault for not doing my own shelving removal, but just look at these pictures.....lol....I mean ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS! This company is a joke. Once they get your money its GAME OVER! Buyer beware. Don't forget, read your contract or better yet, take your hard earned money somewhere/anywhere else! You have been warned. (Before they say my name is not in their books, ask their sales manager Colleen, about the installation done in Rockford on the above mentioned date. She never even returned our calls after the installer destroyed our walls. The best response I got from Ryan, the manager out of the Bartlet, Illinois office was "good luck buddy", after I got nowhere with him. I am not in their books because my partner used her name on the contract and paid the bill under her name. I paid for half of this crap job, so I felt compelled to shine a light on this travesty of a so-called business. Thanks for wrecking the walls in our new home's office closet, you rip-off, poor excuses for a contractor's business.) read more

We had a great experience with ClosetsByDesign and designer and project manager Kathy Cappas. From start to finish it was a very organized, well explained and simple process.

The final installer result is exactly what we were looking for! read more

I had someone at my house for a consult, I have never had anything like this built for me before so I of course had some questions. the lady that came was very overpromising when I asked how custom we can get. promised me everything I wanted. and then proceeded to shoot down everything I wanted and said "we can't do that.." she asked me for a budget and I said I am completely new to this so what is a ballpark price range? she said "I can make it whatever I want" giving me absolutely no frame of reference to go off of. we sat down and she put something together which looked absolutely nothing like what I have envisioned. So I said this is a bit of a compromise from what I want, how long is this quote good for? she then got very rude for the rest of her visit. made it a point to let me know that she doesn't get paid if she doesn't make a sell. by the end of her drawing up what they could do, it looked just like 2 bookshelves against the wall. for 5,000$. no thanks. she also scratched my freshly painted walls that we had just professionally had done when she was measuring. read more

The company was easy to deal with and accomidated all my needs. read more

We recently moved to the Chicagoland area and bought a new home in Hawthorn Woods. I absolutely loved everything about the home, except for these awful wire shelving/hanging units that were in all of the closets. They are the worse, look cheap - and totally not functional. I contacted the builder, and they referred me to the company that installed them as they also do custom closets with shelving, cabinets and drawers. I was happy to know that we had other options, but that turned to not-so-happy after they came out and gave me an estimate for just the two walk-in closets in our master bedroom. The quote was so expensive, and I just couldn't justify spending that much on two closets. I had received a mailing from Closets By Design, so I decided to get an estimate from them, and I'm so glad I did! The sales consultant, Jen came out to the house and listened to my concerns about the cost. She didn't make any promises, but I showed her pictures of what I liked, and she said she was pretty confident she could come up with a design that met all of our needs, and within our budget. She measured all of the space in both my husbands walk-in and mine. We talked about how much hanging space, shelves and drawers we needed. Then, instead of leaving and just e-mailing me something, she sat right down and drew up the design, and priced it out on the spot. Her design and ideas were so good and I liked it even better than the previous one we had gotten. Best part of all was it was about 1/3 less than the estimate from the other company! Jen showed us different options for the type of finishes, colors, etc. and explained the benefits. We decided to upgrade one level up from the standard finish and also added a belt rack for my husband's closet. We also picked out beautiful chrome hardware which was not extra. From the date we signed the contract, to the date of the install was not even three weeks. The installer, Mark arrived right on time and went to work. He professionally removed the baseboards without damaging the section that would stay, and it looks perfect. What a transformation! We absolutely love our new master bedroom closets! I told Jen, that with the money we saved, we are thinking of upgrading the guest room closet as well. I don't want anyone reading this review to think that because the estimate was less, that the finished product was somehow inferior. Absolutely not the case. We are having the builder do some other upgrades on our home unrelated to the closets, and when I showed them what Closets By Design had done for us, even they were impressed! Great Job Jen on your design and for helping us stay within our budget. Thank you Mark for such a seamless installation. Lastly, Thank you Closets by Design for your reasonable prices and great product! I'm still getting organized and putting things away, but here are some pictures. read more
