Introduction: Tool-free, Custom Fit Shelves

Easy closet shelving. No tools. No fasteners. Assembled in minutes. Disassembles even faster. Total cost: $48.00.



Step 1: Only 2 Parts: Shelves...

The closet in question measure 22" deep, 64" wide. The doorway is only 47" wide.

So I went to the hardware store. I had them cut a plank of 3/4" plywood into 2 shelves measuring 22" x 64".

Step 2: ...Spacers

I also had some 2x4's cut into 2' sections for use as spacers.

Step 3: Clean Out the Closet

Take everything out of the closet.

Step 4: Put in the Shelves


There's some molding running around the bottom of my closet, so I put down a couple 2x4's to protect the molding. Then I carefully put both shelves inside.


Step 5:

Once both shelves were in, I muscled them up and put in the first set of spacers.

Step 6:


Now you can erect the top shelf.

Step 7: Profit.

Now you can put all your original junk back in plus a lot more.
