Only con of elfa (compared to built in closets) is it is not as stable. We currently have an elfa desk and shelves (4' wide x 7' high). The whole thing would slightly shake if you bump or nudge it (not a lot, but still noticeable). Otherwise, I agree on its flexibility and its way much cheaper especially if you install yourself. But most closet designs nowadays are also flexible and they do give you extra shelves/bar or other accessories in case you want to move stuff around.
ultimately she did not get one, she hung up her clothes and realized she didnt really need one. our closet is pretty big (14x7). she just threw a dresser at the end of the closet for things she didnt want hanging. and then she got one of those long leather storage ottomans to sit on in the middle of the closet.
trust me, she has plenty of clothes, the entire closet is filled, so is the dresser and the shelf running accross the top of the bars - i havent touched on the subject with her but now i wonder if she does want to get one, it would be kind of pain now though. i dont even keep my clothes in that closet. all my stuff is actually in the downstairs bedroom closet. i get ready in that bedroom in the morning.
and regarding bags, she bought two new ones in December that she hasnt even used, what a waste!
I'm working with Cabinets Plus on my walk-in pantry. So far the service and pricing has been good. I can't wait for more ideas from my sales rep for other parts of the house (master bedroom closet) and custom cabinetry in the loft area, etc. They do garage cabinets too.
I got referred to Cabinets Plus from Designer Kitchens. Designer Kitchens was more high end and they needed 6 to 9 weeks lead time. That was too long for me and I'm so far please with my Cabinets Plus contact. I will post more once I finalize a contract with them.
That would be a good idea too. I will most likely resort to putting dressers in the walk-in closet if the quotes come out too high.
But a well designed walk-in closet is suppose to better organization and the nice clean lines are very visually pleasing when selecting outfits in the morning. Don't believe me, ask the Mrs.

Ours was done by Woodworks Creation (all bedroom closets except the Master, entertainment centers etc). I think a little on the pricier side, but quality of their wood I think are thicker and better compared to other closet companies.

We called to tell him what we want, Scott was very good and emailed us back a drawing, then exchanged what the cabinet shall look like, then gave us an estimated quote. Then came to measure the space. Two weeks later, came to install it. Great wook, great price.

There are some cool closet systems sold at Lowe's or Home Depot that attach to your existing closet rods... including shelving, double hang rods, and mini cabinets.
It's nice to have those, especially if you have smaller rooms or want more interior room space. We gave away some dressers for one of our kids once we got a closet system because he didn't need that extra furniture.

@qwerter:
You can do the Rubbermaid Closet Add-On system. It uses your existing wire closet and installs without tools:

There's discussion about built-in media niche and snowblind40 gave a very nice review about different vendors. Although he's looking for media niche, these vendors also do closet organizer systems.

why not just put a 6 drawer dresser in the closet underneath the clothes that are hanging from the highest bar? Your solution now is removable if you sell the house and allows you to not invest in something that might not be necessary.
You could fit a 6 drawer chest in there (i think it is about 30" tall) and you'll get all the storage you
need. Plus real wood looks better than that particle board crap that most closet companies sell.
That would be a good idea too. I will most likely resort to putting dressers in the walk-in closet if the quotes come out too high.
