At some point in time just about every homeowner takes it upon themselves to add extra closet space to their house. Maybe in the back bedroom that has been such a pain over the years, so it can double as a guestroom; or maybe adding extra closet space downstairs to store winter clothing. Whatever the reason for trying to add custom closets, chances are that the materials will not be of good quality.

Most people, in a fever to save money, will buy the cheapest materials they possibly can to build custom closets in their home. What they don’t realize is that buying chipboard is the worst thing they could possibly do. Chipboard is not only cheap, it’s cheap for a good reason – because it comes apart under too much stress, buckles, has unsightly bubbles in the presence of moisture, and doesn’t like kids banging their toys on the corners without splitting.

That old saying about getting what you pay for is so true, but people want to hold on to their money, so they opt for the cheap sheets. Here is what happens when someone buys cheesy chipboard. Over time it will degrade simply because the quality and durability is “not” there. Chipboard isn’t even capable of being in the same sentence as the word quality. So, because it starts looking really tacky, really soon, the wood has to be replaced. That means spending twice, or more often for something that should have only been bought once.

Custom closets need to be able to withstand anything that people throw at them – literally. If there are kids in the house, kids tend to see if most of their toys can fly and usually right into the closet doors in their bedroom. If the house has custom closets build by a company that only knows and offers quality real wood when they make their custom closets, those toys won’t make a dent in anything.

Bear Creek Closets has quality, elegance, pride in their work and some darn fine custom closet designs to show anyone who is interested. They don’t cut corners, they don’t use chipboard (they use real hardwood) and they make sure they know the space for which they are building custom closets before they even get started.

Worried about the price? While it’s true that custom closets made from real hardwood may be a bit more expensive than chipboard, the pure quality and uncompromising craftsmanship will last a lifetime.

Imagine the party – the wine, the cheese, the grapes, the canapés and the delightful gathering of people in the living room. Now pull out the finest of wines from the customized wine storage unit built with hardwood, and finished in Midtowne Cherry. The crowd goes wild. They’ve never seen a customized wine storage system quite like that before. And so the questions begin.

It’s not a luxury to have customized wine storage systems in your home. If you are a chef, entertain a great deal, or make wines as a hobby, having customized wine storage systems in your home makes perfect sense. To maintain an air of elegance though, these storage solutions need to be made from hardwood, not chipboard.

Chipboard has a bad reputation and will not withstand the kind of wear and tear that well used customized wine storage systems handle over time. It disintegrates if faced with moist conditions, and who doesn’t spill wine now and then? And when it comes to chipping, chipboard in aptly named. It will chip at the slightest ding with a bottle. While it might look fine when it is first built, over time the “fine” will fade and the fake will out, as chipboard is a cheap imitation of the real thing – hardwood.

Don’t settle for cheap because it “is” cheap. Instead, do some online investigation into a company that offers premium service, takes real pride in their work, refuses to cut corners and is noted for their innovative designs for customized wine storage systems. It doesn’t cost that much more to have quality rather than questionable as a wine storage solution.

Think of it this way. Buying something that will probably last longer than the house is a smart move. It improves the resale value of a home, sets the tone for the rest of the house and those who covet a customized wine storage solution will jump at the chance to own a home that features one. In most instances, the home will also feature custom closet solutions, a custom pantry in the kitchen, and an elegant custom designed laundry area. That is when there is no doubt that superior craftsmanship “makes” a house a true home.

While you might be pondering just what the butler did that would make any difference in the kitchen, take a good look at “your” kitchen and think about how it would look if it were done over differently. Get your imagination going and just dream of everything you have always wanted in a kitchen.

You may want all your pantry items in a place where you can access them. You might want drawers in the cupboards, an island with even more drawers, and have the pantry chock-full of adjustable shelving. Think about the colors, the dimensions, the easy access to everything and most of all, the realization of your dream kitchen. Now, keep that picture held tightly in your mind. If you dream it, it’s possible; particularly if you find a company online that specializes in custom building storage solutions for your home.

You of course will want the best you are able to afford and will want someone who understands that your kitchen is the heart of your home – a place where the family gathers for meals and shares the day’s adventures. Indeed, the kitchen is a place where wonderful things happen and even more wonderful smells emanate from the oven.

About that butler and what he did – well the butler, realizing that he was somewhat limited in what he was able to do in your kitchen, actually contacted a company that does custom made storage solutions for your home, including your kitchen. He got the designers to come and suss out the kitchen and create a design so efficient and functional, and yet elegant, that you could hardly believe your eyes. Now we’re talking kitchen renovations from small to large and from awkward to elegant with the addition of some very clever butler’s pantry designs.

Feature those cool adjustable shelves that you can store absolutely anything in and even organize in order of size. Talk about the ultimate in organization, something most kitchens would love to have, but generally don’t even come close. It’s a fact that adjustable shelving will allow you to maximize your pantry storage space. And if you have those shelves made out of “real” wood, you won’t be faced with cheesy chipboard coming apart over the years from spills and kitchen moisture seeping into the pantry.

Clever butler that he is, he also asked for some more countertop space in unusual places that really puts a different spin on what the kitchen looks like. It’s a day and night makeover and the bonus is that it was nowhere near as expensive as you thought it might be. Look at all the additional space you’ve gained in the pantry area and revel in the ability to store more things – cookie sheets, place mats, tablecloths and other things that make dining a true experience in your home.

Don’t waste time with cheap substitutions. Be smart like the butler was when he found an online company with experience and a good reputation that could make the kitchen into something stunning.

We all know what it’s like having a closet that’s nickname is the “great hole that eats clothes.” Opening the door is almost a danger to your safety with all the stuff that falls out of it on a regular basis. The thing is, it would likely be better to just clean out the closet now and then and avoid the daily “slam and cram” blues of trying to get just one more thing in that closet.

Ideally what you want is a custom built closet system that you can be proud of and gets rid of the clutter. Put another way, having a custom built Tampa closet brings “neat and tidy” back into your life. Tampa closets have a lot going for them, not the least of which is clean and modern designs suited to each person’s preferences. That’s the company you would want, one that builds Tampa custom closets because they know that each person’s living space is unique.

To have a Tampa closet specifically designed for your home, one of the first things you want to consider is if you want more open space, prefer a reach-in Tampa closet, or have a yen for a walk-in closet.

Having the right Tampa closet in your home will not only double the amount of space you have, but it will make it infinitely more useable. Hands down, that beats jamming everything you own into one small space with a door until it overflows out onto the bedroom floor or front hallway.

Tampa custom closets can also be built with an island or even a bank of drawers for those who love to have lots of extra storage. If you take the time to search online for a company that takes great pride in their craftsmanship and only builds Tampa closets with “real” wood and not cheap chipboard, your whole shopping experience will be a real pleasure.

In addition to using solid wood, you should be able to choose the best veneer (all maple) in a wide variety of finishes from charcoal to natural. Now “that” is a natural, Tampa custom closet that adds resale value to your home.

Really, it only makes good common sense to take a minute and think about what you want to store your expensive TV, stereo and other gear in. It’s not just about having the biggest and the best in electronic equipment, it’s also about storing it properly and in a classic and elegant way.

This is where you will want to talk to a home entertainment center designer. A what? Yes, a home entertainment designer that you find online with a company that specializes in turning your living space into something special. Now you might be thinking that would be way out of your league price wise. You’d be wrong. Yes, it is a bit more expensive getting a home entertainment center built with “real” wood, but it’s well worth the few extra dollars.

It’s worth spending a bit more on something to really make your living room “yours” because it will last much longer than the cheap stuff you get at a big box store in town. While the cheap stuff certainly is inexpensive and looks good (for now) it will start to deteriorate in very short order.

Chipboard is not only cheap; it “chips” badly if it’s bumped or abused. Let’s face it, if you have children, then abuse is almost a common household word. After all, kids are kids. Kids have toys and toys and chipboard entertainment centers don’t mix well. Neither do kids, drinks and entertainment centers. Water makes chipboard disintegrate, warp, wrinkle and peel in an unsightly fashion.

Choosing to have a home entertainment center built from “real” wood is a smart choice for now and the future. It’s well-known that wood will be around even after the kids are gone. Isn’t it time for you to really indulge in a custom home entertainment center solution that lives up to your expectations?

Think about how your new, real wood, home entertainment center will blend seamlessly with the rest of your home when the designers are through scoping out your space. That takes skill and a real understanding of what you want. When you search online for a company that can build your dream home entertainment center, look for total professionals who know how to make those dreams come true. Professionals who specialize in making your home look the best it can be.

Bear Creek Closets in Tampa, Florida, have some cool ideas going for them that will turn a home into a paragon of organization and streamlined design. Gone will be those terrible dungeons that the kids used to stuff their hockey gear, gym bags and winter clothing into – all stuffed into the corner, willy-nilly in a large, indistinguishable pile. We all know what happens when the door opens. Whoever was brave enough to yank the closet doors open winds up wearing half of what is in the closet.

Put an end to confusion and junk piles by letting Bear Creek Closets get a grip on your private space and design reach-in closets that are neat and tidy, even before they get installed. Reach-in closets, especially in the kids’ rooms, will put an end to the “one-closet-hides-all evils” approach to cleaning their rooms.
With reach-in closets, Bear Creek Closets brings clean lines, organized spaces and well thought out storage areas for those things that are best put away out of sight. The good thing is that it isn’t the “whole” closet where kids can stash stuff. It’s a smaller space built especially for kids who love to have “secret places” to put their prized possessions – just so long as that does not involve the pet snake captured in the backyard.
Having a reach-in closet in any room in the house will effectively double your usable space. Bear Creek’s handcrafted solid wood custom designed closets are a bonus for another reason as well – resale value. When your home is that good-looking inside and features cleanly designed, streamlined storage spaces that actually look good and aren’t made out of tacky particleboard, the resale value goes up.

Having one of those old closet models with the chipboard panels stained a dark brown with the hinges falling off and the chipboard chipping from use makes a room look ugly. While closets are designed to be functional, they don’t need to stick out like sore thumbs.

Bear Creek builds all of their closets with solid maple and maple veneers which means a classy product that lasts for years. There are no exposed metal hinges or joints and no cheap plastic brackets used. In other words, quality goes in before their name goes on.

For the best in custom designed closets in a variety of stunning finishes from Colonial Maple to Midtown Cherry, make it a point to contact Bear Creek Closets in Tampa, Florida.

Bear Creek Closets of Tampa, Florida, has the perfect solution for the discriminating homeowner who wants to run their home-based business in an environment that showcases their Tampa custom home office. “We offer a wide variety of custom designed home offices in various finishes to suit our customer’s preferences,” indicated James Talarchyk, of Bear Creek Closets.

Fancy opening the door to a Tampa custom home office and being greeted by a home office system finished in maple, charcoal or English walnut. This home office would not be created equal to the dirt cheap particleboard desks and shelves sold at big box retailers. It would be custom designed to suit the needs of the user and would be timeless in its beauty and functions.

It would be an office space that blends in with the personal space of the person working there, not a “piece of furniture” that has a use – for now, but isn’t expected to last that long. “That is precisely what happens with chipboard, it disintegrates over time when exposed to any moisture, not to mention it has a nasty habit of chipping when hit the wrong way,” added Talarchyk.

“We’re not knocking chipboard, but we are saying that it does not in any way stand up to the rigors of daily living like our custom designed and handcrafted Tampa home offices. We only use solid maple and other hardwoods which virtually eliminates the off gassing of harmful volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde that particleboard products produce, said Talarchyk. This is obviously the green way to go and get a stunning Tampa custom home office in the deal.

Bear Creek Closets prides themselves on knowing a customer’s personal space almost as well as they do. They have to in order to be able to design a Tampa custom office that reflects the personality of the owner. No small detail is overlooked or forgotten when Bear Creek designers begin planning the perfect office for the discriminating homeowner who wants a functional, yet distinctive and unique work space.

For slightly more than the price of a cheesy chipboard office system you will get a Tampa custom home office that will be there and stay in good shape for years, not months. Those chipboard imitations of quality may look good when they are first set up, but as time marches by, they deteriorate, chip, crack and show their wear and tear like a shop worn shoe.

The whole idea of having a Tampa custom home office is so you are able to have clients come to your office. You don’t want to be in the situation where you actually have to shut the office door because the office looks like a cyclone hit it and the desk has seen better days.

Doing business at home is a way of life in the 21st century and it doesn’t have to be done with a desk and office system made of material that falls apart within remarkably short periods of time. Chipboard is called that for a reason. It is made by gluing together wood particles and subjecting it to heat and pressure. While the result is a rigid board with a fairly smooth surface, it is still the ugly cousin to quality hardwood used in creating Tampa custom home offices.

Chipboard comes in a variety of densities from normal to high-density and is used for things like kitchen countertops and fire doors, as well as flooring. The major drawback with chipboard or particle board is that once it gets wet, it disintegrates. That makes sense since its just wood chips glued together. This is hardly the kind of material anyone wants for their Tampa custom home office.

For the ultimate in Tampa custom home offices, shop online until you find a company that spares nothing in their quest to bring you quality closets and other storage solutions at a reasonable price.

Never dreamed of having a Tampa custom closet? Then you don’t know what you are missing. The superior style and attention to detail will delight even the most hardcore hardwood aficionado. Only the best hardwood is used to make these custom closets and only the most durable and good-looking hardware is used to finish them.

Let’s face it. Who wants to have one of those old dinosaur closets squatting in the corner of your bedroom or living room? While they may perform a function, they hardly have a lot of class or style. You hang things up in your regular closet and quickly shut the door so no one sees inside it. Honestly, it’s a total mess. Surely you can do better.

Indeed you can do better with Tampa custom closets designed with you in mind because the designers pay attention to your living space before they begin to create your Tampa custom closet. Seriously, how many other homes have you been in that feature custom closets? Chances are, not that many, so it’s up to you to lead the parade and introduce your friends and family to Tampa custom closets.

Don’t you deserve to walk into the closet of your choice instead of the narrow and dark particle board behemoth that currently seems to eat your best work clothes? You sure do, and when you find a company online that caters to your tastes and preferences, your Tampa custom closet will become a vital part of your home environment.

Cheap particle board or chipboard does a job in a pinch, but these closets are not made to withstand the test of time. If there is the slightest bit of moisture in the air, over time the particle board separates and bulges, with the paint on the outside blistering and peeling. Talk about ugly is, as ugly does.

Choosing to make your home space into a thing of grace and beauty with a Tampa custom closet is one of the smartest buys you will ever make. Not to mention the fact that your Tampa custom closet will banish clutter and help you neatly organize your home. It’s about time, right? It is especially if you have small children. Think Tampa custom closet for the little ones and watch how much pride they take in keeping their all-wood custom closet neat.

It’s true, if your home is personally yours, you want only the best and most versatile storage spaces possible to reflect the character of your living space. That will include even smaller storage spaces like a wine storage system, and not just any old wine storage system, but a custom made, all wood system crafted with precision and great care.

Now you may be thinking that having a custom made wine storage space would break the bank. Not so, not if you shop for the right company who appreciates the finer things in life and yet offers them for a reasonable price. A company that won’t sacrifice quality or cut corners when they build a storage system. Entrepreneurs who know how to custom create a wine storage space that lets you present and preserve your wine in the finest fashion.

This is no small achievement: having the ability to finely craft — using only quality wood — a wine storage space that speaks volumes about its elegance, but in a quiet and refined manner. None of this cheap particleboard knocked together with shoddy screws and fastenings, or a storage space that relies on wobbly legs to hold it up. You want expert craftsmanship, attention to detail and a solution to store wine that won’t bust your budget.

This might sound like a mighty tall order, but it’s not a pipe dream. It can be your reality by diligently searching for just the right professionals who understand that you want your home to be functional, but done with taste. You want experienced people to help you design and implement only the best wine storage system possible; one that comes in a variety of finishes ranging from English Walnut to Midtowne Cherry. If those finishes don’t appeal to you and you want to customize a finish, then you want a company who can do that for you as well.

You shouldn’t have to ask for quality these days, and yet unfortunately, many people seem to find that excellence in craftsmanship is sadly lacking. Gone are the days when furniture, closets and other storage spaces were constructed out of solid wood. Nowadays the price tag counts so long as it is cheap. Frankly, cheap price tags generally also mean a product that won’t withstand much wear and tear because it is made out of cheap chipboard. Chipboard just does not cut it for a wine storage system. So search for the best quality for lasting durability for your home.

A man likes his work space to be, at the very least, easily accessible and have some sense of order to it. If that isn’t the case, they never seem to be able to find anything in the mountain of garden tools, sports gear, and tools and supplies. It’s a bit like that old saying, “There’s a place for everything and everything in its place.”

“While those who like the clutter and aggravation of trying to track down a hammer for a building project probably wouldn’t consider garage work space and storage ideas, Bear Creek Closets offers those who like a sense of order some innovative, stunning and reasonable solutions,” said James Talarchyk of Tampa’s Bear Creek Closets. Bear Creek worked long and hard to create the perfect solution to for finding those tools and supplies the “first” time someone looks for them and not the hundredth.

Garages aren’t particularly noted for their style, but that doesn’t mean they can’t offer good taste in the form of storage solutions that are not only functional, but take into consideration that the person working in there has to have room to move. Bear Creek will take a garage and turn it into a thing of precision, all the while accommodating the need to make room for equipment ranging in size from the lawn mower to the ATV.

Bear Creek knows what to do with a garage just by scoping it out. They figure out the dimensions, determine how much room is needed to get work done, and what limiting factors there may be. From there they design strategically located wall mounts and workbenches that turn the garage into a workshop and storage space. “Our storage solutions have durable metallic coating, moisture resistant cabinets complete with back panels, ¾ inch cabinet construction offering PVE laminate finish or full steel, and 1 inch thick steel shelves for that extra load rating,” explained Talarchyk.

Attention to detail is a Bear Creek signature trademark and it’s easy to tell when anyone takes a good look at their garage space storage solutions. They don’t cut corners, don’t use cheap material and pride themselves on their workmanship backed by years of experience. After all, garages really ought to be places where the mish mash of assorted odds and sods should be tucked away to give the space a neat and orderly appearance. “Imagine being able to actually use the garage to work in rather than as an oversized storage facility,” commented James Talarchyk of Tampa’s Bear Creek Closets.

With a recession in full swing and purses and wallets crying out for economic relief, many Americans are turning to cheap and inexpensive items to furnish their homes. “Unfortunately, they are mistaken in their belief that cheap will do ‘for now,’ and that it doesn’t matter what it looks like because it’s a real bargain,” outlined James Talarchyk of Tampa’s Bear Creek Closets.

Sadly, real bargains aren’t really bargains. They usually result in the consumer returning the item, as it failed within a few days or discovering the item chips badly and gets warped when wet. The ugly duckling in the corner of the living room that pretends it’s a home entertainment center will have the TV shelf sag and snap, the handles of the doors fall off and the DVD area chip. What was once not a bad looking entertainment unit becomes garage sale material pretty quickly, leaving the owners looking for something to replace it.
The fact of the matter is that if someone wants to go the cheap route, they will be faced with having to replace the “not so lovely” piece of furniture much sooner than they had expected. “That means in a period of conceivably two years, a consumer may put out hard earned money twice to buy a home entertainment unit that just won’t stand up to the wear and tear it gets from the family,” added Talarchyk.

Buying twice what could have been purchased just once seems to be a real waste of money. Think about spending a bit more money on quality crafted furniture that will be there day in and day out for many years to come without disintegrating like cheap and tacky chipboard does. Think about the smart buy solid wood like maple or other hardwoods would be.

“Purchasing a solid wood custom made home entertainment system that turns the living room of your home into an elegant place to watch TV or listen to music is well worth the little bit extra paid up front to get a product that is finely crafted with minute attention to even the smallest of details,” explained Talarchyk. All finishing touches are top quality; none of the cheap hinges that fall off after a month of rough use. The handles and knobs all remain in place and don’t fall off when twisted the wrong way.

Any person in their right mind would dream about a custom home entertainment center expertly designed with the buyer’s home space in mind; a unit that is a part of the home, not something stuck in the corner because it is the only place it would fit for now. “For those who relish high tech gadgets, games, CD players, DVDs and all their accessories, a Bear Creek Closets reasonably priced home entertainment center fits the bill. Bear Creek has the skill, knowledge and understanding to create the perfect foil for your dreams,” said James Talarchyk of Tampa’s Bear Creek Closets.

Picture this in your mind – a stunning Tampa home office tucked into your living space, waiting for you to use its efficiently and elegantly organized shelves and sweeping counter spaces. It will feature just the right balance between being breathtakingly beautiful and eminently efficient. It will be constructed of solid wood, only the finest will do of course, and will be finished in a warm rich tone that sets off the rest of your Tampa home office.

This isn’t just a dream. It could easily be your reality; your Tampa home office reality with a soupçon of quiet, classy distinction. Expensive you ask? A Tampa custom home office of real wood would be a touch more expensive than the cheap imitations on the market and there is a good reason for that. To build a Tampa home office of quality requires the use of solid wood, the kind that stands up to rigorous wear and tear, and yet still looks good years later – solid maple and other hardwood lumbers.

To build a Tampa custom home office that is made out of cheaper materials, which are customarily referred to as particleboard, means a decent looking office to start with, but one that will deteriorate over the years. It will also bubble over time if exposed to moisture, and who isn’t guilty of putting wet glasses and coffee mugs on their Tampa home office desk?

Sure it would be saving money in the short term to get a particleboard office system; however, when it comes apart, it has to be replaced. Replacing it means spending twice what you could have spent once by going with a real wood Tampa custom home office. That old saying about getting what you pay for is so true when it comes to the choice of buying a quality made product that lasts for years versus one that may make it for a year if you don’t treat it harshly.

Let’s face it, if you have kids at home and they also use the Tampa custom home office, then the office furniture will take a beating, no question. Solid wood stands up to pretty much anything; particleboard, on the other hand, chips horribly. So the question becomes whether you are willing to pay a bit more for a product that says this is truly your dream Tampa custom home office; an office that will enhance your living space with its very presence. Chances are you are willing to pay more for genuine quality and impeccable craftsmanship backed by a guarantee.

Bear Creek Closets in Tampa, Florida, has a lot going for it, and they plan to capitalize their professional approach to making closets and other storage solutions for American homes. They’ve been able to build an enviable reputation for quality and unique designs that has preceded them in the industry.

“We’ve learned early on that people wanted quality and not something made with cheap wood. They genuinely wanted the best product available and wanted it crafted in such a way that the hinges actually worked,” laughed James Talarchyk, of Bear Creek Closets in Tampa.

So many furniture products, shelving solutions, storage alternatives and home office layouts on the market these days leave a great deal to be desired because the quality just isn’t present. With Bear Creek everything works, including the hinges, because everything they use to build their custom product is premium quality.

Buyers would be hard pressed to find a genuine piece of wood on the shelf of those famous mass-marketing giant stores. What they sell, although it does look good and may serve a purpose for the short-term, is particleboard furniture and closets. Admittedly particleboard does look good when it’s first put together to create a home office solution. However, this type of cheap lumber will degrade very rapidly leaving the consumer wondering why they spent the money in the first place.

Most customers will opt to buy cheaper because of budget concerns. The problem with that mindset is that buying cheaper means replacing sooner, and there isn’t any money saved then. It would be best to make the investment in real wood, the kind of wood that withstands the tests thrown at it on a daily basis. The kind of craftsmanship that speaks for itself every day it’s used. “We custom make everything at Bear Creek Closets and Storage Solutions and our solutions truly do fit our customers’ lifestyles, that’s our raison d’être,” added Talarchyk.

It’s not often a manufacturer may boast of making a product that does not produce off gassing that will mess-up a home environment. Bear Creek Closets is allowed to boast about their use of solid wood construction with its Tampa custom home office solution. “We only use the best wood, grown in Kentucky and southern Indiana, and in using only wood, not the cheap chipboard, we are able to reduce harmful gas emissions in the home environment,” explained James Talarchyk of Bear Creek Closets, Tampa.

Harmful emissions from wood products might surprise a lot of people, but they are there in the form of volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde. “Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) seep out of certain solids and/or liquids in the form of a gas. Most VOCs are made up of a variety of toxic chemicals that affect a person’s health,” said Talarchyk. What many people don’t know is that VOCs are always higher indoors than outside – up to ten times higher.

Take a good look around a home or office and there will be VOCs leaking into the air from things like paints, lacquers, building materials, furnishings, office equipment and thousands of other items too numerous to mention. If a Tampa home office was set up in the den and budget chipboard or particleboard was used, this may be leaking VOCs into the home, along all the other products usually found in a residence that have volatile organic compounds.

One of the major reasons Bear Creek Closets strives to be “green” is because they realize the importance of this issue to every family in America. “Everything we do is custom ordered and done to the highest quality standards by top-notch carpenters who know their craft and do not cut corners or sacrifice quality by using cheap alternatives to finish a Tampa custom home office,” added Talarchyk.

Professional custom design is a big deal with Bear Creek Closets and they go out of their way to offer Tampa custom home office clientele superior storage solutions that suit each person’s home and individuality. There aren’t a lot of companies who take the time to actually understand what a customer wants, and inspects their environment to understand how the finished product will look when it is installed.

Whether the home office is cluttered or organized, Bear Creek Closets and Storage Systems seems to have a handle on what the ideal Tampa custom home office needs to meet the purchaser’s preferences. “Service, quality, premium products, reasonable prices, and attention to detail are watch words at Bear Creek,” said Talarchyk.

That’s the thing with closets these days – most of them are just thrown together and hunkered down in a corner or a room. The idea of course is that you store things in it, but given the way it is constructed, you have to wonder if you’re going to get everything in there that you want.

It goes without saying that many people would prefer to have quality surround them in their homes and personal spaces, whether that means closet solutions, wine pantry solutions or pantry organization.

At one time particleboard was intended to be a cheap replacement for plywood, and the first commercial chunk of if came out of a factory in Germany during WWII. Back then, plywood was also used as an alternative to natural wood. In Bear Creek Closet’s case, the wood they use to create their customer requested designs is natural wood – the best one can get.

“Natural wood is often a much-preferred choice for home office solutions, and we craft everything we do with precision. We don’t cut corners and we always use top quality wood, no cheap plastic brackets or exposed metal,” said Talarchyk.

It has to be wood, that’s all there is to it. If you want quality closet space and storage solutions throughout your home – that suits your home and blends into each area in a tasteful way – then you need to consider having those spaces designed and created out of wood, and only wood.

Why the emphasis on wood? In this day and age, most of the furniture and other items in your home are often made from cheaper and less durable chipboard or particleboard. While this material does happen to be functional when its surface is painted or veneered, it has a nasty habit of deteriorating over time. This makes sense because it is really a composite product made of a little of this and a little of that and then all glued together.

Particleboard does have its place in the industry for those who still like things that temporarily look good and are not as pricey as other alternatives on the market. The thing is, wood is really the only option that is going to stand the test of time in your home. Let’s face it, closets get a lot of traffic and rough handling. If they aren’t made out of wood, and crafted in a durable “attention to quality” kind of manner, you can bet the wear and tear will make that closet look like it’s seen better days – and it has.

What a discerning customer really appreciates is closets and storage solutions that suit their lifestyle and environment to a T. Customers want functional, beautiful, made with attention to detail, and put together the way they should be – without cutting corners. This means actually calling a company that will make your closet spaces to order without sacrificing anything in the process.

Heard that old saying, “They don’t make things like they used to?” Honestly, in many cases that may be true. However, if you take the time to search the Internet for a company where quality design and construction come first, you will get precisely what you want for a reasonable price – and have all the construction done using real wood. No imitations, no shortcuts and no cheap hardware; just closet solutions that make your living space a joy every day.

You know you want it, and so do we, because we constantly hear from customers about wanting fine attention to detail when creating a custom closet or other storage solutions to exact specifications. People with discerning tastes and an eye for quality want storage solutions and closets designed to fit the space they have, to make it functional, and yet still look attractive. They don’t want something that is mass designed on the basis of what ‘might’ go in a room and ‘perhaps’ look good.

Quality is the watchword every consumer needs to be aware of when it comes to how closets are made. In particular, you don’t want something that is slapped together using what the industry calls “particleboard.” You might know particleboard by another name – chipboard – if you live in another part of the world, but that’s the best description of how it is made. Particleboard is an engineered product made from wood chips, shavings from a sawmill, some sawdust and a binder to make it all stick together. As you might imagine, this is not the strongest material.

You might also wonder why on earth anyone would make furniture or closets out of particleboard. The answer is because it’s cheaper. However, that old adage about getting what you pay for is quite relevant here. Particleboard is highly susceptible to expanding and turning a funny shade of brown when it’s exposed to moisture, or not covered with paint, etc. Most often it’s used when cost is a price point factor.

However, if you would rather have quality, then the best choice for longevity, looks, durability and craftsmanship is to choose all wood construction. While your choice may not be the least expensive on the market, a product that is made without cutting corners, that integrates top quality hardware, and is lovingly crafted by highly skilled carpenters will do you and your living space proud.

If you want fine details incorporated into your designs, then look for a company that pays attention to the little things that make a big difference to the customer. Don’t settle for less or for second best just because saving money is a priority. If you invest in good closets and storage facilities now, they will withstand the test of time and you won’t be replacing them any time soon. Also consider the resale value of your home. If you have custom designed closets and space that is functional as well as highly appealing, the show value of your home increases exponentially.
