‘Open wardrobe mini hack. Had a budget of under $100 for an open wardrobe. Most sets cost over 2 to $300 if your looking Ikea, Bunnings, Fantastic Furniture etc. Went to Kmart and got four of these totalling to $88,’ he wrote in the post. 

‘Already had the Kmart neon strip so added it to the top. 30 mins and four cable ties later.. winning.’

The dad cleverly assembled the four hanging and shelving units to fit the room and maximise his storage space. 

He stacked two of the units' hanging compartments on top of each other then placed their shelves under the remaining two units

‘Just make sure you stick to the weight limit or they start to fall and the plastic connectors split. But it looks so good,’ a fourth person warned.
