My husband and I live in a 1935 house with very little closet space, so this is perfect for us! We painted it white to match our molding and bed, and adjusted the design a bit to fit the space. We made it 7 ft. tall to match the height of the molding on the door next to it (which turned out well for us, as you can hang pants without them touching the bottom shelf). We had less than 6 ft. of space for the width, so had to do without the center shelves. We used 1/2 in. pipes because we needed to use a cross piece in the middle to connect the pipes, and the hardware store only had them in 1/2 in. sizes. Decided to leave the screws exposed to go with the exposed pipes. It all worked out very well! So much so, that I decided to make two matching nightstands out of the extra wood we bought (all by myself )! Thank you, Ana!
