What works for rental closet systems?

[Tandi H.]

We are fixing up our first property, a duplex, in a college student/young professional renter part of town.  It's a 2 Bd, 2 Ba about 1000 sq ft.  The bedrooms are pretty generous at over 13x13 each.  Not much storage in the house other than the closets in each bedroom.  One bedroom has two existing closets each about 4' wide, with a single door access to each.

In the second bedroom we are building a new closet along one wall (it didn't have any storage at all).  The closet will be 10' wide, about 31" deep.  Two sets of frosted glass panel sliding doors in front for 8' of access.  My question is what to put into the closet - do we just go with the basic shelf and hanger bar below, or put in a closet maid wire system, or ?  What do renters want and what is durable?

Hi @Marc Winter, thanks for that input.  We did go with sliders for this 10' wide closet.  I guess we'll find out how that works.  We used three guides spaced along the floor, and doors hang from tracks above.  They are also from HD, and have frosted glass panels.  I'll attach a pic of them, I think they turned out nice.  Hope they hold up.  I imagine the guides on the floor will get stepped on, broken, over time, but those can be replaced.
