Closet wire shelving, such as the attractive white wire shelving used for this project, can be designed to meet almost any need at a fraction of the cost of a custom built-in system. And while learning how to install closet wire shelving isn’t quite a no-brainer, you don’t need to be a master carpenter or own a fully equipped cabinet shop to get it done.
