The term “portable” means something which can be conveniently moved from one place to another. A portable closet is thus a very intelligent and useful product as it assists in organizing stuff in a better way, can fit in any place and is easily transportable. This product can also be dismantled and assembled again as and when required. It is generally used to store clothes, shoes, lingerie and other similar stuff which is not required for immediate use.

There is an array of choices available if one wants to buy a portable closet. The closet is available in different sizes, make, design and colour. It can be chosen as per one’s requirement. Let’s review some of the options and choices one has when it comes to buying a stand alone closet such as these.

• Size – This varies from 24 inches to 60 inches. The smaller ones may not have different shelves and drawers for socks and shoes whereas these features will be present in their large counterpart.

• Features – Basically features can be bifurcated on frame, cover, storage space, portability etc. Frame used is very important as the entire weight of the closet rests on the frame. The frame can be of either steel or iron. Cover used defines the flow of air as also the durability. Storage space may be defined by the number of shelves, hanging rod and drawers provided with the product. Drawers and shelves are recommended as they make the arrangement of goods in a neat and tidy way. You should opt for closets that come with wheels attached to their base so they can be easily moved.

• Price - The price depends on the size, quality and design. Prices start from around $20 and can shoot up to $ 150. (This is the best product if one is falling short of storage space and does not want to spend hefty amount on armoires, which start at $150 and up.)

There are a number of Companies selling these closets; they are Whitmor, Honey-can-do, Whitney Design Inc. and even your everyday superstore like Target, Walmart, Big Lots, and Ikea has gotten in on the action!

While the portable closet will not replace a walk-in closet space, it will provide a handsome quality accessory welcome in any room of the house. Choose several in different colors for different rooms, and give everyone an extra bit of space!
