Closet Organizers

I'm curious about closet organizers. my closet is getting too small for the stuff that goes in there.

I was at Ikea the other day and they had a couple of good storage options:

PAX http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/store...hapterId=15861

Stolmen

now, of course I have a closet space now, but I understand I can take out the rods and shelves and dividers and put stuff in there. I was thinking of using a combination of the above, as the PAX will be quite pricey. However I like the ideas of tie shelf with 12 tie pockets, pull out pants hanger for my dress pants, wire baskets that slide out, two rods hung vertically... possibly a mirror...

any experience with these or others? the Pax would have to be bracketed to the wall, the stolmen is bolted to the ceiling.

I need the help of Marla the virgin on Seinfeld...

Re: Closet Organizers

Are you very fussy about your pants?
Because I have a very radical idea. Can you handle it?
Here's what I'm proposing. We eliminate all this. The hangers, the bar, the shelves. And in its place install a series of hooks. We'll put everything on hooks.
Everything. The shirts, pants, sport jackets, pajamas. We could get eighty hooks on here.

You're quite mad, you know.

The only problem with the pre-fab organizers, at least in my situation, is that they only "sort of" fit the existing closet. I had one custom made and installed that was something along the lines of #2. Set of dresser drawers, movable bars for shirts and pants, lots of shelves for shoes (also adjustable for boots, etc) a slide out desk top and space for a 19" LCD TV in a closet 3 feet deep and about 7 feet wide. It almost tripled the amount of garmet space and the TV and work area were a bonus. Cost was about $700 and it utilizes every square inch of space. It's all ?melamine? surface laminated and I could choose from about 100+ finishes from stark white to woodlike surface. Wipes off with a damp cloth. Took my wife almost a year to fill it up so now I guess we'll have to move.
