Know before you buy
No, this is a free-standing system designed to be self-supporting. It does not require permanent wall mounting, making it an excellent choice for renters or those who prefer not to drill into their walls.
The unit stands 96 inches tall, so you will need at least 8 feet of ceiling height. Be sure to measure your space carefully, accounting for any ceiling fixtures or crown molding that might interfere with the installation.
Yes, the Elfa system is highly modular. You can easily adjust the height and position of the shelves and hanging poles at any time to accommodate different clothing lengths or storage needs.
While the feet of the unit extend to 17 inches deep for stability, the shelves themselves are 12 inches deep. This provides a slim profile that is ideal for standard folded clothing and accessories without taking up excessive floor space.
The system is in good used condition after three years of use. You may notice minor surface scratches consistent with normal wear, but these do not affect the structural integrity or functionality of the shelving.
