Mannnn no lie this was the best closet video i everrrr saw because of the tutorial…. Im not reading any instructions cuz he taught me hands on lol

[@tapinwithted]

Ya hear me 😂! Them paper instructions are trash anyway. Thanks for watching!

[@erikamortega3956]

I watched multiple videos on how to build the "Target Bookshelf Closet", this is without a doubt the MOST HELPFUL one I've seen. Well done!!!

[@tapinwithted]

Thank you!!!!

[@pammiesworld1681]

Hello!! Thank you sooo much for this video. 11-12-23 my brother put 4 bookcase’s together watching your step by step. At first he was like I don’t need the video. Then 5 minutes later, he was like let me see what he’s taking about🤣 He couldn’t do it without you. By shelf 3 he had it 😅

[@tapinwithted]

🫡Glad I could get him right, I struggled on the first few too😂

[@joyh2224]

I learned so much how to save money first; and achieve an affordable closet system on budget. Your step by step approach made this project seem effortless. Thanks for the tips.

[@tapinwithted]

You’re welcome! We’re all about saving some coins when able🙏🏾

[@MrsBless-iv9qo]

😊Great job!!! On explaining how to assemble Targets bookshelves, into closets inserts!!! You EXPLAIN EVERYTHING accurately and made it simple . Thanks 😊 again!!

[@tapinwithted]

You're very welcome!

[@Happytrace13]

You are the 1st person I’ve seen talk about lowering the clutch for lower torque 🎉 I subscribed right after you mentioned the torque 😊

[@mrjferg74]

Excellent video. Helped me put my shelves up in 20 minutes. Thanks

[@tapinwithted]

👏🏾😂 You're a fast worker

[@qubilahmuhammad2725]

I love the way you showed and illustrated how to assemble the bookcases. Doing so has eliminated my hesitation to do my walk-in closets. God bless you and your family.

[@tapinwithted]

You got it! Don't hesitate

[@gapch1964]

Heading to Target right now, gonna be my wkend project. Thanks for all those saving money tips. Queen room 😊 here we come 💐🪴

[@tapinwithted]

You're welcome! Let us know how it goes!

[@gapch1964]

@tapinwithted, well sista girl 😀 I've gotten three of them together with a black and white wallpaper design in the background. Turned one of them into a shoe 👣👠👡👢 rack. Hubby loving it 😍, thanks

[@dawnbowman4612]

I'm so glad I watched your video. It was of great value. Thank you so much. It solved my problem. I wanted the pax system (2 years now), but due to constant inflation I just haven't been able to afford it yet. I have a lot of clothing, and your video showed that it could accommodate them. BTW I didn't even notice your thumb hypoplasia in the video someone commented on. You did a great job making your wife happy.

[@tapinwithted]

Appreciate it! The pax system ticket is wild right now but here’s a good tip, go to IKEA through the week and they occasionally have the Pax system from the showroom. I’ve seen them priced from $80 to $200.

[@coliearendell8922]

I truly appreciate how detailed you were. I always have a problem reading the instructions with all the parts, but you showing all parts makes me feel like I can do it.Thanks so much!!

[@tapinwithted]

You absolutely can do it! I pray it comes out how you want it🙏🏾

[@breannah5558]

This was the perfect tutorial, I didn’t need to look at my instruction book, you explained everything clearly and your demo was straightforward! #targetbookshelvetutorial #subscribed Thank you Ted! 🫶🏽🥳🥳

[@jacequalynconner1834]

Great job. Your accent made me smile,loved it. I think I could put one together from watching your video. I’m in my 70’s

[@tapinwithted]

I can never hear the accent until I travel outside of the Bible Belt😂. It’s truly an easy project but it does take some energy, I will admit

[@taniquasimon7690]

By far the BEST DIY video I’ve seen thus far! I’m done looking for ideas because of your video. Talk about holding my attention lol. Great job on your presentation and thank you. I feel much better now going into this project!

[@tapinwithted]

[@ldbonbon1983]

Wow !!! Very well explained. I love it . I think I can definitely put it together with your video. I can make it happen for my grandson. Thank you so so much. Great job !!

[@tapinwithted]

Did you get it done?

[@officialopv]

For those who dont wanna screw into wall get a 1x4 piece of wood the length you need , or 1.5 x 4 . if you got carpet. and put it acrosss the front so the shelved are leaning back. its probably leaning about 10 degrees. which is enough to offset forward weight. I used this on a book shelf i got from office depot. i have it in my closet, no woobles . cause its leaning where i want it to.

[@designsbysye3629]

Thank you so much! This literally answers the question I just asked! 😊

[@tapinwithted]

Thanks for the recommendation😁👍🏾

[@1myedwards]

I love your instructions and editing! Your closet looks great.

[@tapinwithted]

[@miriamholloway5366]

Love how thorough video is

[@tapinwithted]

Glad it was helpful

[@anitraboldin5235]

Thank yall. I was able to put this up, just as you described. Did you have a video on how you secured the bookshelf to the wall. Great job

[@tapinwithted]

I've had several inquiries about that. We have yet to paint and do everything else to my wife's wardrobe room, so I haven't. BUT, since so many people requested and I have a snow day off from work today. I', about to record it right now! Stay tuned

[@redhotrhythm29]

This will be My Boo's next project 👍🏽 Very helpful video 👌🏽

Man. I really like the way you are doing your video here. You are great at this. Good job dude. Very fun to watch and you are just freaking awesome. I was looking for a more custom project. I want to turn a normal bedroom closet into a bookshelf.

[@tapinwithted]

Thank you! That sounds like an awesome idea. You can really advance this project x10 times than what I did! We’d love to see your finished product!!

[@amycarrico0918]

Very well done video and I have watched a lot of the target diy closet videos good job bud

[@tapinwithted]

Thank you🫡

[@GilesaHenley]

Thank you for this! Followed it to a T, and it looks perfect 😊

[@tapinwithted]

You're welcome, it really ain't that bad, they just didn't put enough effort into their paper instructions lol

[@hanifahakbar8321]

Hey I love this video! Question.. where did y'all get the taller bookshelf from with her longer close in it? Thats what I need

[@tapinwithted]

Hey, I’ve pinned it in the comment section for you 📌

[@elbarosado4083]

I just bought 3 bookcases to start my project! I will need to order more!

[@tapinwithted]

Happy building! You can do it🙏🏾

[@Melissacraftingcreations]

New Subscriber here and of course I hit that thumbs up. Thank you for the step by step tutorial it was to the point and entertaining. I actually put together one of those shelves for my crafting space, wasn't hard at all. Best of luck with your KZbin channel.

[@tapinwithted]

Thank you so much!

[@crystalliving993]

Yeah and watching this and a few others I didn't walk, but RAN to Target and Home Depot hahaha. Now mine is complete. I was afraid to paid the rods though. Thanks for the thorough tutorial!!!

[@tapinwithted]

You’re welcome! Painting the rods were a pain though, I can’t even lie😅

[@julem247]

Such thorough instructions!!! THANK YOU!

Number one video on building the closet system thank you so much for sharing Gb

[@tapinwithted]

You’re welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@gaylesjourneyofprojects]

Thank you so very much for these instructions. It saved me a lot of time. Because none of the boards are labeled.

[@tapinwithted]

You're welcome, hope it turned out good for you!

[@jenniferlake305]

Than you that was so helpful I love the way you show everything you are talking about so we can see it. So many people on here just assume you know, you also had some great tips like having the wood trim facing you so you don’t put it on backwards. Done that a few times but not anymore thanks again x o

[@tapinwithted]

You’re welcome Jennifer, I’ve screwed up a few pieces by putting panels on backwards myself as well😅

[@jenniferdamaries8934]

Thank you so much! I was able to do my bookshelf without any problems. Your explanations were clear and informative.💪😁

[@tapinwithted]

I'm glad that I could help!

[@katasticone]

I had no idea that these were a thing! I've been wanting to do Ikea, but they are getting pricey and hard to find. I can do these easily over time with some Target runs. Great info on how to build them too. And it was definitely worth all of that work. Thanks!

[@tapinwithted]

Agreed, we hope your project went well!

[@lovedbymany8319]

Lawrd thank you! This is perfect however I’m stuck on step 7 and couldn’t get the shelves to snap together so not sure if screws are in far enough! It’s 3am and I’m working on them so will come back if you have any suggestions what I did wrong or if the screws not all the way in💪🏽

[@tapinwithted]

You got this! You likely inserted the screw incorrectly in Step 2 (4:48). If the big round screws aren't inserted with the open side facing the the hole in the side of the board, you won't be able to perform step 7 correctly! I hope that makes sense 😅

[@LynnNessa]

Running to Target!!! 🏃🏾‍♀️ 🛠️

[@tapinwithted]

And get started ASAP!

[@Chrisandetc]

Let me say this to you Ted......and I mean this with every fiber of my being......THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!

[@tapinwithted]

[@JenniferGreen-xq1sm]

Ya’ll answered my question! I was wondering if the shelves could hold the weight of clothes and shoes. Great job!

[@tapinwithted]

Yes they will, just make sure you mount the shelves to the wall to prevent it from tipping. It’s not a huge concern if you’re conscious about it but may be dangerous to kids or pets who like to bump and pull on things

[@tapinwithted]

Thanks for watching!

[@EugeniaHollmon]

Love the video. Your instructions are detailed and easy to follow. Quick question. The taller shelf in the middle, where did you get that? It is taller and looks wider than the others. Thanks.

[@tapinwithted]

We got it from IKEA. Now lookey here, the trick is to go to IKEA sale section throughout the week and catch a day when they put their floor models in there at a marked down price. Buy that and get the rod that goes with it, which is only like $10 or something like that I think

[@SingOskie]

@@tapinwithtedwhat’s the name of the ikea shelf? I was wondering the same thing.

[@josettecerutti9139]

TY so much 4 ur assistance. I was stuck at 1st, but how U identified which parts were which, I was able 2 get this task done. Keep up the good work!! 👍😆😅🙏🏾❤️

Thank you for this detailed step by step tutorial! You saved me so many questions and time lol. One question and I possibly missed this in the tutorial. I’ve done my one closet a year ago with the ikea bookshelves and they came with the top hinges to drill into the wall. Does the target bookshelves not come with it? If not where can I purchase the hinges from?

[@tapinwithted]

Yes, they come with them and I made a separate video to show how to secure them! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWrcfYB8oJutapY
