When it comes to designing a custom closet, the materials you choose make all the difference. They determine not only the durability and functionality of your closet but also how well it stands up to the unique challenges of Arizona’s climate. In a state known for its dry air, scorching summers, and temperature fluctuations, selecting high-quality, long-lasting materials is essential. At LB Closets, we believe in delivering more than just beautiful designs—we craft custom closets built to last. Here’s what you need to know about the materials we use and why investing in quality ensures your satisfaction for years to come.
Engineered Wood: Durable, Affordable, and Versatile
Engineered wood, such as medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and particleboard, is a staple in custom closets for good reason. It’s affordable, highly versatile, and resistant to common issues like warping and cracking—especially important in Arizona’s dry climate. At LB Closets, we take engineered wood a step further by using furniture-grade thermofused melamine, a high-quality material that is as durable as it is beautiful.
Thermofused melamine offers exceptional resistance to warping, peeling, and cracking, ensuring your custom closet maintains its integrity and appearance for the long haul. Whether you're storing heavy winter coats, holiday decorations, or everyday essentials, this material provides a solid foundation for your storage needs.
Substantial Shelving Built to Handle It All
When it comes to shelving, not all options are created equal. LB Closets provides shelves that are thicker and more substantial than what you’ll find with standard solutions, designed to hold more weight without sagging over time. This makes them ideal for homeowners who need to store heavier items, like bulk storage, seasonal decorations, or heirlooms that need to be kept indoors to avoid Arizona’s extreme heat.
Our shelves don’t just look great—they perform exceptionally well, giving you peace of mind that your investment will stand the test of time. Once your custom closet is installed, you’ll never have to worry about replacing it. It’s a solution you can count on for life—or at least until you move to a new home!

Laminate and Melamine: Stylish and Low-Maintenance
Closets should not only be functional but also fit seamlessly into your home’s style. That’s why we love thermofused melamine—it’s available in a wide range of colors and finishes, from sleek modern designs to classic wood-grain looks. This material is scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and perfect for Arizona families with busy lifestyles.
We also bring the same attention to detail to our garage cabinets, which are fully finished both inside and out. With 1-inch-thick shelves and a polished design, they aren’t just practical—they elevate the entire space. Whether in your closet or garage, our products are built to be as durable as they are visually appealing.
A Guarantee That Lasts as Long as You Own Your Home
One of the best parts about investing in a custom closet from LB Closets is that once you have it, you’ll never have to do it again—unless you move, of course. That’s because we stand behind our products with a lifetime guarantee for as long as you own your home. This means you can trust that your closet will remain a sturdy, stylish, and functional addition to your home for decades to come.
By choosing high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, you’re not just buying a closet—you’re investing in a solution that will serve you every day for years without the need for replacements or repairs.
