Auction Item Highlights

Custom Closet by Organize It, Value $1000

The winner will be able to choose between 6 different finishes for their closet. The customer will be able to either have one of Organize It's in-home estimators come out to their home and measure their closet and design a space to work for their needs or the customer may bring their measurements into our showroom and have a design done on the spot for their closet (there is no charge for either service). The customer will have $1000.00 to put toward their closet. So, when the design is done we quote both product and we quote installation separately. The winner will be able to have the closet installed as long the total cost for the design they choose and installation falls at $1000.00 or under.  Now, the customer may also choose to install their closet themselves which we offer and the closet would be cut and prepped and ready for them to install.
