Open Aromatic Red Cedar Closet Cubby Tower, 12-30 inch, 14.5 Inch Depth

Regular price $ 19947
Shelving Style: Solid Width: 12" - (13.5")

A cedar cubby tower is a good place to start a closet design. It works on its own or as the center section of a larger system, and it connects to our hanging kits, add-ons, and shelving.

This is our standard 14.5 inch depth. If you are building around our 12.5 inch system, select the 12.5 inch version instead. The two depths are not compatible and do not connect to each other.

Open panels allow better air circulation but are not designed to be cut down. If you need to shorten the unit for a low or sloped ceiling, select our Deluxe version.

Panels arrive pre-drilled and the hardware is simple.

Made in the USA. Milled in Kentucky from locally sourced aromatic red cedar.

    Natural Wood & Quality Assurance

    Cedar is a natural product and each piece carries its own unique character — slight variations in grain, color, and texture are part of what makes solid wood beautiful.

    If you are hiring someone to install or doing it yourself, confirm all parts have been received and are in good order before starting the install or hiring help.

    If anything doesn't meet your expectations, and is covered under our warranty, our customer support team will make it right. Replacements are handled quickly and we're easy to reach.

    Design Help & Dimensions

    Trims To Fit

    All of our solid wood products can be trimmed to fit your space, including custom lengths and odd angles. Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

      - Height: Any Open or Deluxe unit can be ordered as a half-unit at 42" tall (please contact us directly to order). Deluxe can be trimmed to fit. Please note that Open panels are not designed to be cut down.


      - Width: Most customers trim one side of a hanging kit to fit their space.

    Example:
    If you purchase a 6' wall kit, the total width of the assembled unit is 73.5" (the panels add 1.5" to the total). Once you assemble and place the center cubby and hang the first hanging kit, you can measure and cut the remaining 30" hanging kit to fit your exact space.

    Modular

    All of the closet products are designed to attach to each other to make one continuous closet. Hardware is included to attach units together as well and our instructions show common and by design installs.

    Two major design limitations to consider:

    1. 12.5" and 14.5" do not connect to each other

    2. shoe racks, wine racks, and cubes are standalone products

    FAQ: Compatibility

    Why do some images show parts that are gray?

    Parts shown in gray are intended to demonstrate how the product attaches to another unit. Any products shown in gray are not included with the main product.

    What is the difference between 12.5" and 14.5" depth?

    The 12.5" and 14.5" products are not compatible and are not designed to connect to each other.

    We offer two separate closet depths, 14.5" for a standard closet and 12.5" for a narrow closet.

    • 14.5" is the depth of a Deluxe or Open 14.5" panel, shelves are 14" deep when not installed on a panel, and there must be at least 22.15" of total depth for a closet with hanging space if using a standard hanger.
    • 12.5" is the depth of a Deluxe 12.5" panel, shelves are 12" deep when not installed on a panel, and there must be at least 20.15" of total depth for a closet with hanging space if using a standard hanger.

    What does Deluxe and Open mean?

    We offer either the Deluxe or Open version for any 14.5" deep closet. Currently, we only offer the Deluxe version for 12.5" products.

    In terms of functionality, Deluxe panels can be cut to fit the height of your space, whereas Open panels are not designed to be cut. Aside from that, the main difference is aesthetic and ventilation: the Deluxe is a solid panel, while the Open design allows for better air circulation.


    Should I go with Solid or Ventilated shelves?

    Both styles of shelving serve the same purpose and share the same dimensions. The ventilated style allows for more air circulation, while the solid style prevents small items from falling through.

    FAQ: Tools and Install

    What tools will I need?
    Tools you'll need

    These cover a typical install:

    • Safety glasses
    • Dust mask or respirator
    • Hammer
    • Level
    • Power drill or impact driver
    • Drill bits to fit your drill or driver (most installs need a 1/16" and a 1/8")
    • #2 square drive bit (an extended version makes things much easier)
    • Stud finder
    • Sandpaper (80 to 120 grit works well)
    Tools you might need

    Depending on your space and how much trimming you do:

    • A saw — any handsaw will do, but if you're comfortable with power tools, a table saw, circular saw, or miter saw makes clean work of it. You will need a miter saw that can slide and cut 12.5" or 14.5" inches.
    • An oscillating multi-tool — handy for a few quick cuts; a sharp blade glides right through cedar.
    • Step stool or short ladder (for upper shelves and hanging rods)
    • A couple of clamps (handy for steadying a panel solo or holding a piece while you cut)
    • Painter's tape (for marking stud lines on the wall, and a strip over a cut line cuts down on tear-out)
    • A small container or tray to keep your hardware from wandering off mid-project
    • Tape measure
    • Pencil, pen, or marker (pencil is best)
    • A square or ruler — or any straight edge for marking clean cut lines
    • Drywall anchors

    None of this is exotic. If you've tackled a basic home project before, you already own most of it.

    You can install this yourself - Show more...

    Do I need to find studs?

    Anchor into studs where you can for the strongest install — our hardware can mount either into studs or with drywall anchors where a stud isn't available. The instructions cover both.

    How long does installation take?

    2-3 hours on most single units - depends on prep-work, experience, and tools. If you have help, the time can be half that.

    Plan for 6-8 hours or more if doing a full walk-in closet or tongue and groove.

    Are the instructions available before I buy?

    Absolutely, dimensions and instructions below:

    FAQ: Orders and Shipping

    How long does standard shipping take?

    Most orders ship within 1 to 3 business days after the order is placed and typical transit time to most regions is also 1 to 3 business days. We offer free shipping on all Shoe racks and any order over $200.

    Transit time depends on the carrier - we use UPS, FedEx, and various LTL carriers. If you have a certain carrier preference please let us know in the notes of your order if you qualify for free shipping.

    Little imperfections

    "Actually 4. 5 points. The substraction is due to minor things such as imperfections with finishing all wood surfaces, with some shipped wood (which should not have been used), and for a broken wooden dowel upon arrival. Nothing that makes the material dysfunctional, yet demands some finishing touches from the new owner (me)."
