Our story · Since 1991

One man set out to organize the world.
We’re still at it.

In January 1991, Frank Melkonian founded Closet World on a simple, slightly audacious idea: a beautifully organized home shouldn’t be a luxury. More than a million custom closets later, we still design, make and install every system ourselves — built in our Southern California factory for homes across Northern and Southern California and greater Las Vegas.

  • Over 1 million Closets transformed
  • More than 35 Years of innovation
  • 7-plus-year Warranty included
  • Southern California: Made in our factory

Our story in a minute

A short film about the everyday moments an organized home makes room for — from calm mornings to the biggest days of your life.

Read the transcript

Here’s to your mornings, to your first moments — what to wear, what to pack and what’s next. Here’s to the spaces that once felt cluttered, now working smarter, sharper, better. Here’s to calm mornings, to confident steps and to days that run on time. Because when everything has a place, your day has no limits.

We’re in the possibilities business. The starting-strong business. The space-maximized, day-maximized business. Millions organized, one simple truth: when your life is organized, it has room to grow.

This is more than storage. It’s taking back control, from the first moments of your day to the biggest moments of your life. Closet World is here. So where will your day take you?

A history of innovation

35 years of custom closets. One very organized journey.

Scroll on — our very own Closet World Man knows the way.

  1. A big idea, a small closet

    Frank Melkonian founds Closet World on a simple belief: a beautifully organized home should be within reach for every family.

  2. Every room, beautifully organized

    We take organization room by room with complete garage, home office and Murphy bed systems — and build our own CRM and ERP so every job runs like clockwork.

  3. A brand icon is born

    Closet World Man and his famously catchy jingle hit the airwaves and become a pop-culture fixture. Go ahead, try to get it out of your head. We’ll wait.

  4. Fast becomes our thing

    While the industry asked homeowners to wait six to eight weeks, we take projects from design to installation in a single week. Patience is a virtue. So is a finished closet.

  5. Hello, robots

    Under Alex Jivalagian and Willie Arias, we start building the industry’s first robotic manufacturing facility — completed in 2019 for precision cuts and far less waste.

  6. Twice the capacity, same care

    Demand soars, so we double our sales and installation capacity and roll out proprietary manufacturing and operations systems. More homes organized (just ask our clients), zero corners cut.

  7. The future of organization

    Our next wave of innovation is getting its finishing touches. We can’t say much yet — but we promise it’s neatly organized, labeled and ready for liftoff.
