Abstract

An easy to use, discreet, and functional device that can be used to convert any space within a home into a useful storage closet. The device comprises a unit base comprising at least two separate wall mounts having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface of the wall mount is capable of being secured to a pair of opposing walls. A brace assembly is attached to the second surface of each of the wall mounts. A holder joint is secured to each of the braces. Preferably the brace assembly includes hinges so as to allow the holder joints to swivel in order to accommodate a variety of sized/shaped spaces. At least one rod having a pair of opposing ends capable of fitting within respective holder joints extends between the pair of opposing walls to form a closet in which articles may be stored.
