ShelfTrack Nickel, along with all of ClosetMaid's wire shelving products are made from 90-100 percent recycled steel. The adjustable ShelfTrack system installs in just five easy steps and can be reconfigured as storage needs change. Homeowners simply install the horizontal hang track onto the wall and then snap in the vertical standards, brackets, shelving and closet rods.  Choose from building a custom design with open stock product or an affordable organizer kit with everything you need in one box.  

Easily upgrade the look of your ShelfTrack closet system by adding laminate components like ClosetMaid Selectives®, which can be mounted right onto the standards, or other accessories.  The accessory line of products includes pull-out hampers, hanging baskets, slide-out drawers, shoe shelves, belt and tie racks and much more.  

Ready to get started on your closet?  Follow these helpful tips from ClosetMaid:

1.  Set a date.  Mark a day on your calendar and set aside a few hours to de-clutter your old closet and dream about your new one.  

2.  Sort and discard. Empty your closet and make four piles: store, sell, donate and toss.

3.  Break out the tape measure.  Get the necessary dimensions of the space for your new closet system.  You'll need these measurements when you start to explore the possibilities.  Visit www.ClosetMaid.com for ideas and free online design tools.

4.  Add shelving for accessories and folded items like scarves, sweaters and denim. Upper storage shelving above the highest hanging rod is ideal for out-of-season clothes you use less often.

5.  Mount top hang rods at 84 inches from the closet floor for long items like coats and dresses and bottom hang rods for shorter items at 42 inches.  With ShelfTrack, it's easy to adjust shelves as your wardrobe changes, too.

6. Shoes worn most often should be stored on a shoe shelf or in a hanging caddy. Shoes worn less often are best kept in boxes on a shelf.

7. Load your wardrobe back into the closet, making sure everything is easily seen and reached.
