Chris RyderWe had an incredible experience with Up Closets, and would highly recommend them!!!
Ryan was very thorough throughout the design process, and walked us through multiple design recommendations to best utilize our space.

Linda BaxterFantastic experience and the only project I’ve had this year that came in complete on/before estimated time of delivery! Bobby was incredibly helpful with taking my rough sketch and turning it into a reality – my “dream” closet provides both function and form and I could not be happier with the end result.
From my first appointment to the follow up install, I received regular communication via email as we went back and forth with ideas, received phone calls for any changes and texts for product shipping updates as they happened. I never felt “in the dark” about next steps or when I could expect something to happen (a huge relief for someone that needs to mentally check the boxes!). I am super happy with this project and the fantastic customer service provided.
HIGHLY recommend Up Closets of Memphis – 5/5 stars!
(( I think Bobby was almost as excited with the end result as I was – and that’s a good feeling! ))
Seth WebberWe had an outstanding experience working with Bobby from Up Closets of Memphis. From start to finish, he streamlined the entire custom closet design process, making it so easy for us. Bobby really listened to what we wanted and created a design that perfectly meets our needs, all while staying within our budget. He came out to our home, designed the closet on-site, and the professional installation was completed in just one day. The finished product looks phenomenal! We absolutely love our new walk-in closet and couldn’t be happier with the quality service. Highly recommend!
Kayla MaxwellAngie was great to work with and made my dreams come true. I love my closets! They were affordable, I was able to transform all of my closets for LESS than the competition quoted me for my master alone. Here are a couple of pictures that just do not do it justice and our new master closet is out of this world!
