Testimonials:

On May 19th, I came to the store to have six closets and a garage designed for the Elfa system. Addison L. was my designer I worked with and

she came over excited to do an Elfa design with me. Her love of the product & enjoyment of her job really shined through all 4+ hours it took us

to do all of the various spaces. She was very knowledgeable about the option available and the end result was 7 beautiful designs for my clients.

From my extensive experience with Elfa I know the design process can be exhausting but Addison’s energy and excitement was very

appreciated.
