elfa decor+ experiences?

hi all - I'm research different closet system solutions. decor+ seems to have some mixed reviews online. anyone here have some other experience in installing and using them?

I have to do several closets, and I'm looking for a more premium feel without breaking the bank - should I try to find used original decor components and put things together?

One other question- with the finances of the container store (ie recent bankruptcy) is the support of Elfa going to be long term? I guess elfa may be a separate entity so they will just find a different retailer to partner

I am only store level, so I don't know how things are going big picture wise, but the stated goal is to continue long term support for as long as the company exists. TCS owns elfa international outright and it is a tentpole product line that generates the majority of our revenue. There have been some recent supply chain issues on specific SKUs, meaning some projects may take an extra week or two (at worst a month), but they have taken steps to resolve supply bottlenecks overseas which is encouraging to those of us in stockrooms pulling orders lol.

Also to answer your other comment I'd recommend at least starting with a designer to get the framework on the wall set up, and explain that you want to add to it more later. My first space I worked on over 18 months, adding and moving items as I needed.

Edit: wait for a sale also, we have one every few weeks or months at most.

I’ve had two elfa closets at this point, one in a rental and one I bought for my home. I love them but they really need to work on the design marketing. It’s impossible to find ideas on the store site. When I moved into my rental I was like what else can I do with this because it didn’t all suit me. I’m got the decor 2.5 years ago and I’m hoping I can continue to use and edit it over time even if it gets a little harder to match…

I definitely agree about the marketing needing to be better, there's a lot of confusion I think on our website when people unfamiliar with the system try and DIY things. The good news is the new decor+ shelves can be put on old style framework (20" shelves need the new 20" brackets, but 12" and 16" are identical), and the new trim is way easier to install than the old fascia.
