"Your site is terrific. It helped me tremendously when planning and building my closet cellar. I am including pictures of the closet from start to almost finished. I am still waiting for the base kits for the curved corner racks (they are back ordered from IWA). I have included a description of each picture as well. Feel free to use as many of the pictures as you feel are needed to show the construction of this "under the staircase" closet cellar. "
