About Common Steel

Common Steel makes steel storage for small homes: arched cabinets, wardrobes and a pantry cabinet, all 31.5 inches wide or less and shipped flat from US warehouses.

Why steel

Particleboard is cheap for a reason.

Most flat-pack storage is wood chips and glue under a printed film. It looks fine on day one, then a spill reaches an edge or a move knocks a corner. Steel costs a little more to make. We keep the rest of the price low.

Why small

A lot of us rent, move every few years and live in rooms without enough closet space. So every piece is 31.5 inches wide or less and under 18 inches deep, and arrives flat-packed, which is easier to get up narrow stairs.

How we sell

We're a small company based in New York, and we sell online, directly to you. Orders ship free to the 48 contiguous US states from warehouses in the US, and most arrive within 5–8 business days. If a piece doesn't work in your space, you can return it within 30 days of delivery; the refund policy has the details.
