4 ft. Solid Wood Closet Shelving Kit
4 ft. Solid Wood Closet Shelving Kit
4ft. Solid Wood Closet Shelf Kit | Compact High-Density Storage
Turn every niche into a high-functioning storage zone. Most small closets and "dead-end" hallways are left underutilized because standard shelving is too bulky or flimsy. The John Louis Home 4ft. Shelf Kit provides a heavy-duty, solid wood solution for those 48-inch spaces that need professional-grade organization. Whether you’re adding a single shelf above a washer or bridging a gap in a reach-in closet, this kit delivers permanent stability in a compact footprint.
Why the 4ft. Solid Wood Kit is the Smarter Choice:
- The "Niche" Specialist: At 4 feet wide, this kit is perfectly sized for laundry rooms, small pantries, and guest room closets. It allows you to add professional shelving to tight spaces without the need for complex cutting or professional help.
- 100% Solid Wood Permanence: Don’t settle for wire racks that rattle or MDF that sags in humid environments like laundry rooms or bathrooms. Our real wood construction handles 50 lbs. per linear foot, making it the ideal home for heavy detergents, stacked linens, or small appliances.
- Seamless System Integration: Use this kit as a "Bridge" between existing John Louis Home Tower units or to extend your storage to a side wall. It allows you to create a custom "L-shape" or "U-shape" design that maximizes every inch of your closet.
- Sophisticated Flat Surface: Unlike wire shelving that leaves marks on clothes and allows small items to fall through, our wider ensures that even the smallest spice jars or perfume bottles stay perfectly upright.
Ideal For:
- Laundry Rooms: A rock-solid shelf for heavy detergent jugs and folded baskets above the washer/dryer.
- Small Reach-In Closets: The standard size for coat closets or linen storage in hallways.
- Pantry Expansion: Add dedicated shelving for small appliances (mixers, blenders) that are too heavy for wire racks.
- Mudroom Nooks: Create a high-capacity "drop zone" for baskets and seasonal gear in narrow entryways.

FAQS
FAQS
Q. Can the Shelf Kit be free-floating on either or both sides?
A. Yes, the Shelf Kit can be free-floating by using the provided curved wooden angle brackets. These angle brackets provide support to the shelf if not installed into a side wall.
Q. Can the Shelf Kit be cut-to-size?
A. Yes, the Shelf Kit can be cut-to-size by using a fine-toothed saw blade. For best results, we recommend using a table saw or sliding miter saw.
Q. Can Garment Bars be added to the Shelf Kit?
A. Yes, Garment Bars can be added to the Shelf Kit. Our 4ft. and 6ft. Bar Kits are sold with all the hardware needed to install directly to the Shelf Kit.
Q. Can Shelf Kits be installed in a 90-degree corner?
A. Yes, Shelf Kits can be installed in a corner at a 90-degree angle. One shelf (A) is installed onto the back wall and side wall. The other shelf (B) is installed to the perpendicular wall and secured to the front of shelf (A) using the included Shelf End Hardware.
Q. Can Shelf Kits be installed on brick or plaster?
A. John Louis Home shelving is designed for installation on current specifications and methods of wood studding and drywall. While the Shelf Kit can be installed on alternative wall types, custom wall preparation and hardware will be required.
Q. What if my cut measurement is in the middle of a shelf slat?
A. There are two solutions to this. One – The size of the included Shelf End Hardware allows for short cuts; therefore, you may cut at the nearest slat side of your measurement. Two – Make your cut using a fine-toothed straight handsaw and place the cut slat side facing the sidewall.
Q. What accessories can be added to the Shelf Kit?
A. Our Pull-Out Pant Rack and Under-Mount Belt & Tie Rack can be installed directly under the Shelf Kit.

I’ve done four closets with the solid wood products. All of them were simple to install and turned out very well. Quite happy with all products and the customer service.
I used this as a replacement for melamine faced shelving in a pantry. It's better looking and much more practical. I cannot recommend it enough.
Used leftover material from previous installation to expand master bedroom closet. Great quality product, durable construction should last a long time.
