How to Get the Closet of Your Dreams Without Breaking the Bank
When we moved into our house in 2020, I knew I wanted to redo our primary bedroom closet. It had wire shelving that I hate and wasn't utilizing the space efficiently. I started off with an IKEA design. However, our closest IKEA is two hours away. It didn't have everything we needed and it was going be $250 to ship and some of it wouldn't even be able to ship. I decided to use things we had and buy some other things to fit the space and make it on my own.

This piece is starting to come off, the glue has worn away and some of the dowels are breaking. So I decided to take a look at it and see if there was something I could do to fix it.
