How much do custom closets cost in NYC?

Kloset Worx projects typically range from $25,000 for a reach-in or small pantry to $300,000+ for multi-room or whole-residence storage. Walk-in dressing rooms generally fall in the $58,000–$78,000 range for a standard configuration in European Oak with patinated bronze hardware.

How long does a custom closet take to build and install?

A typical project takes approximately twelve weeks from initial design consultation to completed installation — 3D design, milling in our Bronx workshop, dry-fit on the shop floor, and installation by the same makers who built it.

What areas does Kloset Worx serve?

We serve New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, all boroughs), Westchester County, the Hamptons, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut. We work by appointment from our Bronx workshop at 382 Canal Place.

What materials does Kloset Worx use?

We work in dozens of materials: solid woods (European oak, walnut, ash), veneers, stone (marble, quartz), metal (bronze, brass, nickel, blackened steel), leather, fabric and glass. We finish any of them in any color you want — bring us a sample and we will match it.

What is the difference between Kloset Worx and California Closets?

California Closets configures from a catalogue of engineered-panel modules. Kloset Worx designs each project to the building — every elevation drawn by an architect-trained principal, milled from solid timber in our own Bronx workshop, installed by the makers who built it. 25-year guarantee on cabinetry, lifetime on joinery.

Does Kloset Worx offer a trade program?

Yes. Net trade pricing, sample box shipped to your office (18 pieces), CAD and Revit blocks, named project manager, and white-label drawings.

Do you do the entire residence or just closets?

Both. We are happy to be one small piece — a single reach-in — or to coordinate every built-in across an apartment. We often work alongside a primary architect on whole-residence projects.

Will my pieces ever look dated?

The system is built to be refinished, refaced, and re-handled over decades. We hold the original drawings for every project and revisit them on request ten and twenty years out.

Do you replace existing closets or build new?

Both. Removal and disposal of existing built-ins is included on every quote. We coordinate with your contractor on framing changes.

The studio Kloset Worx

Everyone else

California ClosetsNational closet system
REFORMEuropean front system
Local cabinetmakerVaries by shop

01How it’s made
Designed in 3D, milled from solid wood in our own Bronx shop.

Configured from a catalog of engineered-panel modules — or designer fronts fitted to modular (often IKEA) carcasses. Local shops vary in method and capacity.
02Core material
Solid timber, metal, painted finishes, leather, stone — by tier.

Engineered panel with laminate or foil; lacquer, ply or lino fronts on particleboard carcasses; or whatever the shop happens to specify.
03Who designs it
An architect-trained principal — every elevation, by hand in CAD.

A franchise designer working inside system rules, an online configurator, or the cabinetmaker themselves.
04Fit to the room
Designed to the building — every out-of-square corner surveyed.

Confined to fixed system or carcass module sizes; bespoke fit only if the shop has time.
05Who installs it
The makers who built it.

Subcontracted installers, self-install, a third party, or — in the best case — the shop itself.
06Signed & numbered
A signed plate and a kept register since № 1001.

Not the practice anywhere else; only rarely with a local shop.
07Drawings kept
In perpetuity; revisited at ten and twenty years.

Typically not retained — and where retained, retrieval is uncertain.
08Guarantee
25 years on the cabinetry, a lifetime on the joinery.

Limited and franchise-dependent, or simply “varies.”
