Easy Garage Storage

This is my second purchase from Easy Closets/Garage and I have to tell you that working with Dimitri made it SO easy for me to create great professional looking storage for my garage. When we purchased our house, the garage had acceptable storage but after 2 years we could tell that they were poorly made and were starting to warp. The units we purchased are made of strong material that I am confident will last for a very long time! My husband and I put up the units and found everything easily understandable, labeled and all the pre-fab holes matched the others so installation was a breeze. Thanks you Dimitri and Easy Garage for making my project so easy.

We recently downsized and purchased our retirement home. We designed, installed and organized all of our closets and the result was fantastic! Our next challenge was our garage. We really needed help to get everything in since our old garage was 3.5 cars and the new house has a standard 2 car. The designer worked with us and developed a great plan. We built it out in 2 days and could not be happier! We have never been so organized! Thank you!

Fairly easy to assemble, even by an old guy with moderate (at best) skills, limited strength, and poor close vision. It was time consuming at first, but it speeds up when you get familiar and more confident, especially after the stack of boxes gets smaller. I didn’t have enough space to place the boxes for each cabinet in a separate pile. I also didn’t feel like moving that much weight. Instead, I labelled the edges, and schlepped each box over to my working surface as I needed it. Speaking of which, my wife had saved a roll of unused dense carpeting, about 40” wide and ten feet long. It was the perfect work surface on the floor. The instructions were clear, much better than trying to assemble something from IKEA, and the videos online were also helpful. Because of the pandemic, I had only the assistance of my wife. I was able to move cabinets on my own, or with her help, but it took some improvisation to hold the base cabinets from slipping away from the wall before the screws were installed in the cleats. The cabinets will sustain minor damage to the veneer if they slip down the wall. I used a four-foot-long 2x8 board to hold the feet in place, with my knees on the board, until I installed one or two screws in the bottom cleat. This was not a complete cure, as you have to level the cabinet before installing the screws, and the cabinets slipped several times during that process. Your skills may be better, or you may have a helper hold the cabinet in place. Ultimately, I managed to use a couple of trigger clamps to anchor the next cabinet to the one already mounted. The trigger clamps are essential to screwing multiple cabinets together, and to mounting the work surface. The veneer will flake if you rub the edge upward. As mentioned, this was a problem when mounting base cabinets, as the feet would slip forward on my garage floor and as the cabinet slid down the wall the back edge would flake a little. Fortunately, it was later covered by the work surface. It did not seem to be a problem with tall cabinets, as the feet didn’t slip as easily, though I used different legs because of some height limitations. You need to be careful to lift the cabinets and not drag them or roll them on an edge. For some reason, the holes in the doors where the hinges mount are drilled one larger than the other. I suspect it is to allow a little movement of the hinge to keep it perpendicular to the door. I was not confident the screws would hold, so I put wood filler in the hole, then installed the screws and let them dry overnight before mounting the doors. I wondered, why do the legs adjust so much? Because garage floors may slope toward the front. If mounting several cabinets along a side wall, I suggest mounting the first cabinet farthest to the back, or where the floor is the highest. Then, each cabinet you add will have the feet extended a bit further, to keep them level. My first cabinet has the right foot all the way in. By the fourth cabinet, the farthest leg is extended about 4 inches. If I had started at a low spot and adjusted the feet all the way in, there would have been no way to keep each subsequent cabinet from rising. Once assembled, the cabinets function well and look great. EGS even includes small silicon dots to keep the doors from making noise when they close. For the tall cabinets, we found that one extra shelf for each worked out well, except where we were storing tall items, such as a shop vac. Customer service was terrific. I had one vertical panel arrive damaged, and Easy Garage Storage replaced it without argument. From the appearance and location, I suspect the freight company hit the bottom box with one fork of a pallet jack. Not only did they make it possible to park my cars in the garage, but these cabinets may have saved my life, as they kept me busy socially isolating in my garage, safe from COVID-19. 😊

I am 100% satisfied with our garage cabinets. The ordering process was perfect and everything was super easy to assemble and install. The delivery process was seamless and the driver was super friendly. My only two gripes are: I wish the boxes stayed together a little better. When I installed some of the cabinets and screwed them to one another I noticed some minor separation where the two pieces of the boxes meet. My drawer box holes did not like up with the drawer fronts. So I had to drill new holes to make it work

I am very pleased with my EasyGarage cabinets. I broke the project into two orders. Everything shipped on time, was carefully packaged and arrived with no damage. And, except for 2 speciality screws and a door handle everything was there. The missing items were quickly and efficiently sent to me after a call to customer service. All in all I am extremely pleased with the end product and will recommend EasyGarage to my friends.
