GH's link for a review: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-reviews/home-products/closet-organizing-system-reviews/diy-closet-organizers#slide-6 They review a few at different price points. I have purchased some awsome IKEA products. My favorite is a long bench I put on wheels and my kids use this everyday with toy bins underneath. It is laminated and very easy to clean and sturdy. If you near an IKEA spend a day and feel the products as every product is on display. I have seen some not so quality items but for the price.... Are you and IKEA family member? They give monthly discounts and offers via e-mail and you can log on to the website for the current offers at each store. Most of the systems are 2 person jobs though so make sure you recruit help. Good Luck with your decision!

I have found bifold doors to be frustrating -- they can be knocked off their pins and are awkward for one person to re-align, and if anything projects into their space (heavy coats, etc.), they don' t close or do pop back open. Also, they will project into the hallway -- not as far as a regular door, but about half as far. I'm not wild about sliding doors, either, but find them preferable to bifolds. Whatever you do, make sure you get absolutely top-of-the-line, heavy hardware for the functional bits -- that's where all the problems arise. It's better to overbuild than be cussing on a daily basis.

Do you have any pain points? Not enough storage? No place to build a puzzle or do sewing projects? Space for a dog kennel? Reading room? Study for your kids to do homework? Upstairs laundry? Without knowing your needs it is hard to anticipate the best use for this space.
