Metal Portable Closet Options

Are you looking for a metal portable closet? Here we will take a look at the portable closets on the market that are available made of metal. This typically means not that the entire unit is metal – not like a metal storage box per se, but more in the sense of the frame itself being made of metal. What are some portable closets with good solid metal frames?

Metal Portable ClosetMetal Closet Organizer ($120)

First up we have what Target bills as a metal closet organizer with a gray cover. For our purposes here, and for people looking for a portable metal closet, this definitely works to that end. This is essentially a set of metal shelves on wheels with a zippered cover. It’s got 8 shelves and the zipper cover options make’s it particular convenient to use as a closet, where you can either decide to cover your clothes or leave it open for easy access. This is one of the most expensive metal portable closets out there, coming in at about $120 from Target. For that $120 price tag though, you see that review after review states this closet is truly a strong and sturdy storage unit, and yet moving it with the attached wheels is easy to do. It’s also an item that many felt was easy to assemble.

Honey Can Do Metal Frame Portable ClosetHoney Can Do Portable Storage Closet ($33)

Here we have a great portable storage close from Honey-Can-Do. While you can see that it’s got a cloth overlay, the frame itself is made of metal. Adorned with wheels, this storage closet is small enough to easily manuever, but big enough to hold a reasonable amount of clothing inside, as shown in the picture, from the included closet rod, as well as shoes on the bottom over the metal framework, and additional items sealed in the top compartment, which functions as a sort of closet attic space for extra items!

The best thing about this Honey Can Do closet? It only costs under $50. In fact, this portable closet is way under $50, coming in at just $33 at Target. For that you get a closet that stands 68 inches tall, 30 inches length, and about 20 inches deep. Need something similar but bigger? Keep reading!

What’s nice about this metal protable closet is that you don’t see the metal! Additionally, you get two areas for holding clothes as well as a nice shoe rack built into the side. Honey Can Do knew what they were doing when the put this storage closet together and priced it at just $50.

Metal Closet Shelves On Wheels

Mini Metal Shelving Unit For The Closet

Okay, we are cheating here – I don’t think this was intended to be used as a kind of metal portable closet, do you? Yea, I didn’t think so. But let’s make a deal: if you don’t tell anyone, I won’t either. Deal!

So here’s a simple metal shelving unit, equipped with three shelves, that’s easy to move, and thus portable. It doesn’t have wheels but it’s small and lightweight (about 6 pounds). And most importantly for what you’re looking for, it’s made of metal, more specifically, commercial, chrome-plated steel shelving, actually. It costs under $25. Works perfect as sturdy metal shoe rack or metal shelves to set deep into the closet for storing folded clothes, boxed storage, and other items that can easily be grouped together into a storage rack.

Beyond The Closet: Portable Storage Decor For The Home

What are your options when it comes to needing extra storage at home, but also wanting to keep that storage something you can move around and use in different parts of the house? Any local home store, such as Target or Home Depot, has a myriad of products when it comes to home storage options. In this article, let’s take a look at a few of those options and highlight what we think works and doesn’t work with each one.

1. Storage Ottamans. We love clever storage items here, and a nice storage ottoman definitely tops the list for functional, clever, and decorative storage all at once. You can easily move an ottaman about the house with no problem, and inside it, you’ll find a decent amount of storage capacity. A favored use of such items is for storing toys and games in the living room. It’s a great way to have these fun items on hand without them cluttering up any living space when not in use.

And of course you can also put your feet up on them too and relax!

A Good Portable Closet2. Portable Closets. Portable closets are products that basically function as a closet, allowing you to hang clothes and store folded items into smaller shelves, but the trick is that the whole unit is on wheels and can easily be moved about the home. A nicer portable closet will be equipped with a built in shoe rack and even a bin for your dirty clothes. Very cool. These are great for adding extra closet storage in any room, be it your master bedroom or the guest room.

3. Laundry Sorter. Most laundry sorters are also equipped with wheels, like a portable closet. They give you a good way to sort and organize the laundry while doing the laundry, as opposed to having to do it in a simple laundry basket or on your bed. This is another item that could be repurposed into other things as well. What ways can you think of to use a laundry sorter?

4. Wicker Storage Baskets. Storage baskets are by definition a good item for storing your belongings and are portable at the same time. The problem is many storage baskets are plain looking and while certainly capable of holding items, they’re more suited to storing under the bed than out in the open. The wicker storage basket looks really nice though and is going to add to your homes decor, not detract from, it while also providing storage space. Another perk is that you can use more than one of these around the home and they’d all match, especially if you have wicker furniture elsewhere in the home.

5. Coat Racks. These items are easily portable, as they weigh just a few pounds, but most likely you’ll find they work best by the door and that’s where you’ll want to leave them. Having a coat rack will immediate give you additional space back in your closet, as it won’t need to store all your coats any longer. A coat rack also just makes it more convenient to come and go from the home with your coat, and also gives guest an obvious area to place their coats when coming into their home without having to deal with going into the hallway closet.
