Measure first, choose second
Small-space storage products fail most often because the depth, hinge clearance, door swing, or pipe location was guessed. Start with the storage job, then confirm exact usable dimensions before picking a product type.
- Define the category that needs a home.
- Measure usable width, depth, height, and access clearance.
- Prefer adjustable or movable products when lease rules are unclear.
- Keep heavy items low and daily items easy to reach.
