Description of Erik

In my house there was an old built-in closet with only 1 shelf and a rack to hang clothes in. It was all a bit poorly made, and there was not enough space for my clothes, so I wanted to put something nice in it. Via TOSIZE.it I had a custom-made inner closet made, with shelves, and built it in so that I now have multiple shelves to store clothes, among other things.

How I made this project

- Measure the cupboard. (Do this accurately, because this meant I had to remove most of my frame. It didn't fit) - Ordered the cupboard from TOSIZE.it - Removed the shelf and hanging rack from the old cupboard - Removed the metal and old hinges and locks from the old cupboard - Removed the frame of the old cupboard for the most part - Built the new inner cupboard into the frame - Temporarily screwed the cupboard in place - Mounted the end caps - Finished with sealant and wall filler - Painted - Enjoyed the work that was finally finished. The total was about 3 days of work.
