This ClosetMaid 8-cube Laminate Organizer has worked out really well in the top space in the closet. I turned it on its side and it fits just about perfectly (there is only about 2 inches above it)! Chris uses it to store his snowboard jackets, thermals, and miscellaneous equipment. One of the cubbies has my scarves and mittens and our extra sheets are in another one. It makes really good use of the space above in the closet.
I bought mine at Target about a year ago. I think they still have them in-store, but I can’t find it online.
I love closet organization, well organization in general. The cubes look like they would work great in my bedroom closet too!
