But what if there were an easy solution to organize everything so people could find what they need and have more time to do what they enjoy? That’s the idea behind EasyGarage, a new DIY collection of durable cabinets, work surfaces, slatwall and accessories. EasyGarage combines smart storage features, quality materials, and the look homeowners want in a comprehensive solution. A wide selection of cabinet sizes and configuration options including open shelves, doors, and/or drawers offers multiple ways for each person to put together a storage solution that fits their garage and their belongings. A full suite of slatwall accessories expands storage options even farther, opening up valuable floor space by storing items within easy reach up on the wall. All slatwall hooks, racks, and baskets can be moved or rearranged without tools, making it simple to update storage at any time to accommodate changing seasons or equipment. Terra Kunish, Brand Director for EasyGarage’s parent company The Stow Company, says, “As the demand for organization in other parts of the home continues to rise, it’s only natural for people to want solutions for the garage, too. With so many different kinds of things to store and so many family members coming and going all the time, keeping this space neat and well-organized can help make their busy lives a little easier.” Designed for the tough environment of the garage, EasyGarage solutions are manufactured with durable materials and quality construction in every detail. Each cabinet is made with 3/4-inch thick sturdy panels and adjustable shelves with durable surfaces. Full-extension metal drawer glides, Euro-style adjustable door hinges, and adjustable-height leveling legs communicate quality with every use. Homeowners can choose from durable laminate cabinets in Driftwood, Galaxy, or Black Sand, or a mix of laminate cabinets with 20-gauge, powder-coated steel doors and drawer fronts in Graphite, Silver or Red. EasyGarage solutions are designed for easy do-it-yourself installation. Cabinets mount to the wall with included cleats and hardware using common household tools. All parts are pre-cut and shipped with hardware and detailed instructions to make home assembly successful – even for first time DIYers. Kunish says, “Homeowners are always looking for a way to get items off the floor and open up more storage space in the garage. With EasyGarage, we’ve made it simple. By choosing a solution that organizes and upgrades the look of your garage, you can transform one of the most hardworking spaces in your house into a valuable part of your home.” About EasyGarage EasyGarage is part of The Stow Company, a leading manufacturer of custom storage and organization solutions for the home and the parent company of EasyClosets.

Feb 8, 2017 EasyClosets Updates Palette with Four Fresh Colors for DIY Organization Holland, Mich. -- EasyClosets®, a leading online DIY organization solutions provider, introduces four new fresh colors that let homeowners express their taste and personal style in their storage spaces. Created in response to consumer research and demand, the four new colors include Desert, Sierra, Clay, and Lava. Desert blends a calming white with soft grey accents and a woodgrain-textured finish to provide a warm, natural appeal. Sierra’s amber cherry base with orange and red undertones is enhanced by a straight-grain pattern with small woodgrain “knots” to evoke a traditional style. Clay is a solid neutral combining grey taupe, subtle red undertones, and a smooth finish to deliver a modern, upscale look. Lava, a bold solid color with dark grey hues and a smooth finish, offers a crisp, clean aesthetic for a dramatic effect. "This updated color palette was created to enable choices,” said Jon King, Design Manager for The Stow Company, the parent company of EasyClosets. "A closet is a very personal space that should speak volumes about who you are, from your wardrobe and accessories to the environment where they are stored,” said King. “The EasyClosets color palette encourages personal expression within a closet or other spaces in the home. Whether you want your closet to represent the same aesthetic treatment applied in the rest of your home or to be a departure from it, you now have that ability." The new colors expand EasyClosets’ palette to include solid and woodgrain colors, warm and cool tones, smooth finishes, and unique natural texture finishes. No matter what their personal style or storage needs may be, homeowners will find the colors, styles, configuration options, and storage features they desire to design an organization system that is uniquely their own. The intuitive online design tool makes space planning quick and easy for homeowners. Complimentary design service is also available, allowing customers to have an EasyClosets expert review their plan or create it for them.

May 9, 2014 EasyClosets Joins Lin’s Linens to Provide a Personal Healing Sanctuary EasyClosets®, a leading online home organization solutions provider, joined Lin’s Linens to provide a bedroom makeover for a college student coping with cancer. Through their collaboration and support from other local companies, the bedroom was transformed into a peaceful, organized oasis designed to provide a calm and relaxing environment. Lin’s Linens , a non-profit organization based in New Jersey, helps women diagnosed with cancer by creating nurturing environments where they can heal. The organization’s mission is to support women going through cancer treatment by providing a comforting retreat where they can rest after surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Employee volunteers donated their time to design and build an organization system that was completely customized for the space and her personal needs. As a part of The Stow Company, EasyClosets participates in an annual corporate-wide initiative called the Stow Difference program. The program empowers employee teams representing each department to give a boost to causes that benefit the local community.

Our Stow Difference Program presents our employees with an opportunity to contribute to worthy causes with their time and talents,” said Bobbie Locke, director of marketing and communications for The Stow Company, the parent company of EasyClosets. “It’s an honor to be a part of the Stow Difference projects and to help those who need the peace and comfort that an organized room can provide,” said Mikey Masciarelli, designer for EasyClosets. Masciarelli worked with Lin’s Linens’ volunteer Kelli Chitti, owner of Interiors by Kelli design studio, to bring her vision for the space to life. “We designed the solution to include an open bridge above the bed, and side towers with adjustable shelving and drawers, creating built-in night stands on both sides of the bed,” said Masciarelli. EasyClosets’ intuitive online design tool, fast, one-day manufacturing and easy installation enabled the project to be completed in only a few days.
