This was the one we got (one on each side) in dark chocolate

was a little apprehensive of the quality after reading some the reviews but am pretty satisfied with it. it also looks great. i guess we'll see how long it holds up but seems pretty sturdy to me. they have a prebuilt one in stores if you want to check it out. took my wife and i about 3-4 hours to assemble and put up each one. the only tricky part is having to cut the shelves on each side to fit your desired length on each side.

if you're ok not having the shelves or want to put in your own (the ones above the bars) you can get just the middle console with the clothes bars for $160 (or $118 for the narrow version). In retrospect I probably would've gone with the narrower center console (i think 16" vs 25"?) since i could use more hanging room vs storage in the middle part.

I think yours is the same brand we have. Ours came with the house, but it seems well enough made. There are way more shelves in the closet than we need.

I would send a photo of ours however we are mid-painting project and it looks pretty awful at the moment.

I redid the closet in our bedroom with some Ikea shelves we had in our family room that were not being used. The bookcase is the Billy single tower seen here...

But they have a number of them that one could use.

We put the Billy shelf in the middle of our closet, laid a refinished piece of maple above it that runs the full width of the closet and then hung a bar across between the bookshelf and the wall on either side. It was really quite easy and didn't cost much at all.

Yeah this is basically what it is. A bookcase with some shelves and clothes rods coming out of the sides haha. Definitely cheaper options out there than the pre designed set we bought

Can anyone identify the firm that used this label? It's the sole marking in a gorgeous tweed; my suspicion is that it might be a Winston (Chipp) label, but I'm not sure.

Any help appreciated!

PS: It's on its side in the picture; it's a "W".

 

[Mr. Moo]

Looks very much like this Chipp label

I know I've seen this label before, but I can't remember what it is for the life of me. Made in Japan sport coat-ish jacket.

Alright, My wife just mentioned that she would like a cashmere scarf for Christmas. Do any of you fine folks have anything that we'd work, and that could get to South Carolina by Christmas?

What type of scarf? i.e. colorway or preferred pattern

Really open. Probably nothing wild print. More concerned that it's warm and cozy. She is ridiculously cold natured.

How big? I have a camel coloured one by Hilltop Brand that's super cozy. But it's not very long... It's not big enough to wrap around the neck.
