About John Louis Home: Solid Wood Craftsmanship Since 2003

Founded in June 2003 in Crestwood, Missouri, and now headquartered in Fenton, John Louis Home was born from a singular mission: to eliminate the “clutter” of flimsy, short-lived wire and particle board shelving.

For over two decades, we have specialized exclusively in affordable 100% solid wood closet and home organization. While the industry has moved toward cheaper, chemical-heavy MDF, we double down on kiln-dried craftsmanship and eco-friendly, VOC-free finishes.

Why Experience Matters (Est. 2003)

  • Verified Durability: Our systems installed in the early 2000s are still in homes today, supporting heavy wardrobes with ease.
  • Proven Engineering: We pioneered the “cut-to-fit” DIY architecture that allows a custom, wall-to-wall fit without the $10,000 custom closet price tag.
  • Environmental Stewardship: Our water-based stains have been nursery-safe since our founding, long before “non-toxic” was a trend.

Our Technical Standards: Why We Win

  • 100% Solid Wood: We solve the failure of wire shelving and particle board by using 100% kiln-dried Grade A solid wood white pine.
  • Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to withstand heavy use, our organizers can support up to 750lbs or more (based on design) and 25 pounds per linear foot when properly installed.
  • Ventilated & Cut-to-Fit Design: Our systems feature optimized slat spacing for proper airflow and are designed to be cut to the exact width of your space for a custom built-in look.

Our Team: Real Craftsmanship, Real Support

Real people make our products, and real people answer our phones. In our factory, manufacturing specialists use advanced equipment to mill 100% solid wood into precision organizers—quality you just can't get from wire or particle board. That same care goes into our service. When you call us, you talk to a US-based expert—someone who actually knows our closets inside and out—not a script reader. We believe superior organization starts with expert manufacturing and ends with help you can actually rely on.
