Portable wardrobes are large, rectangular structures and commonly are over 6 feet tall, enabling you to keep your suit of clothes or your dresses in them without having to worry about wrinkles or creases. They are typically made by covering a wood or plastic frame with a covering made canvas or sometime similar to canvas that opens in the front. Typically a portable wardrobe is closed with a zipper. Sometimes velcro is used in very cheap models.

A portable wardrobe is meant to be used like a normal closet and can provide very quick and easy storage space as they can be assembled and disassembled in a matter of minutes. The only difference between them and a regular closet is that they can be moved around more and can be torn down and put up very quickly.

A very good place to use them is in the attic or as a way to expand your closet space when you have guests and you do not have extra space for their clothes. Additionally you can use them for storing your clothes that are out of season or you no longer can wear but do not have the heart to throw out, such as that old college dress that you are certain that one day you will be able to wear again.

More complex versions of portable wardrobes have such extra features as pre-installed shelving for things that can be easily folded up like winter jackets or t-shirts and others have places where you can put your shoes and keep them together in a pair.

The more expensive types might be double in size and make use of wheels for easy movement from room to room or just when you need to put it in a new location with it is full of clothes. Portable wardrobes can be as cheap as $25 dollars for the basic design while more expensive models with deluxe features and extra storage space can be as much as $200. Portable wardrobes can be bought at a local retail store or online with those bought online often being cheaper.

Most portable closets, such as the ones manufactured by Honey Can Do and much of the units sold at Target, are made with a metal frame. This allows for a good portable metal closet to have a solid structure and be able to bear lots of weight. (Clothes don’t seem heavy? Just try moving a portable closet but take the wheels off first, and you’ll see how quickly the weight of all those shirts and sweaters add up!)

Over this metal closet frame, companies usually cover all opens with a mesh seal, enclosing the unit entirely, with zippered openings for easy access. Sometimes on the outside you’ll also find a cloth shoe rack built into the outside wall of the portable closet.

So the majority of portable closets are made of metal and cloth. Is there such a thing as a wooden portable closet? Not so much. This is when you veer into the area of the armoire more than the portable closet. And once you start building these items with wood, they get less and less portable as they get heavier and heavier.

In a nutshell then, the majority of portable closet products are manufactured of metal, usually a chrome steel type of metal, making its weight easy to manage, especially with the addition of the wheels affixed to the bottom of the structure. Portable closets made of wood and other materials are harder to come by simply because that makes the unit fairly heavy.
