Shelf Closet Tower

The backbone of every ClosetX layout: an 84-inch tower of adjustable shelves in five widths and two depths.

In short

What it is for.

The Shelf Closet Tower is the unit most closets are built around. Five shelves ship with each tower and every one of them moves on a 32 mm pin pattern, so folded stacks, handbags and boxes can all be given the exact height they need instead of the height the factory guessed at.

  • Two depths, one height15-inch depth for reach-in closets and hallways; 24-inch for walk-ins that need to swallow a folded sweater without it hanging over the edge.
  • Shelves that actually moveA full-height 32 mm pin pattern, not three fixed notches. Re-space the whole tower in about ten minutes with no tools.
  • Finished on every faceBoth side panels carry the same decor and edge band, so a tower can end a run and still look intentional.

Towers

How this one is specified.

Sizing a tower starts with the run, not the tower. We divide the wall into bays and pick from the five widths — 18, 21, 24, 30 and 36 inches — so the run finishes flush against both walls with no filler strip. That is why five widths exist rather than one: the leftover inches go inside the cabinets instead of beside them.

Depth is decided by which side of the closet you stand on. A reach-in is used from outside the opening, so 15 inches keeps every shelf within comfortable reach; a walk-in perimeter takes 24 because it usually carries hanging as well. Mixing both depths in one room is normal and gives the run a stepped profile that makes a narrow closet feel wider.

The five shelves that ship with a tower are a starting point, not a layout. Every one sits on a 32 mm pin pattern that runs the full 84 inches, so a tower spaced for folded knitwear today can be re-spaced for boxes in ten minutes without tools. Order more shelves against the same SKU whenever the contents change.

Every size above is built in any of the six finishes; pulls, LED strips and pull-out hardware come from the accessories and hardware catalog.

Questions

About the Shelf Closet Tower.

  • How many shelves come with a Shelf Closet Tower?

    Five adjustable shelves ship with every tower. Extra shelves can be added in any width in the program.

  • Can the shelves be moved after installation?

    Yes. The tower carries a full-height 32 mm system hole pattern, so shelf heights can be reset at any time by lifting the shelf and moving four pins.

  • What are the dimensions of a closet tower?

    84 inches high, in five widths — 18, 21, 24, 30 and 36 inches — and two depths, 15 and 24 inches. Panels are 3/4-inch cabinet-grade melamine with matched heat-applied edge banding.

  • How do I choose the tower width for my closet?

    Divide the wall into bays and combine widths so the run finishes flush against both walls. Five widths exist so the leftover inches end up inside the cabinets rather than in a filler strip beside them.
