When it's time to jump into bed at the end of a long day, no one wants to walk into their bedroom to find clothes scattered across the floor. But in rooms without adequate storage, it can be difficult to keep belongings organized and tidy. Whether you have a closet that's already over-stuffed, or if you're living in a small space without built-in closets, extra storage is always appreciated. And no, you don't have to choose between expensive furniture or messy bags and bins: Amazon has a convenient portable solution that you can use instead.

The Songmics Closet Wardrobe is a portable organizer that can help bring order to the madness. Its structure is made of metal tubes with a hanging rack in the center, and over 10 shelves built into the side and bottom sections. The "doors" are fabric that can roll up and be attached at the top. With this roll-up door setup, you can leave the closet completely closed, half-open (just one or all doors up), or you can skip the cover altogether and leave the metal shelves exposed for a bit of an industrial look. 

This is considered portable because the fabric cover is lightweight and the metal tubes can be taken apart, whereas other types of closed wardrobes made of solid wood or plastic are much bulkier and heavier. It measures 59 inches wide and 69 inches tall, so it can help you either organize your small bedroom or fit into larger spaces. The closet has a list price of $43.99, and you can choose from the gray or black model.

This all sounds interesting, but you might wonder whether you really need it. This type of portable storage solution is ideal for organizing a bedroom with no closet – whether it's your room or a guest room. Living without closet space is tough; no matter how hard you try to keep bags and bins organized, whether hidden under your bed or tucked in a corner, it's not efficient or aesthetically pleasing. Thanks to the fabric cover on this portable wardrobe, you can close everything up and avoid having all of your off-season belongings on display for guests and visitors to see.

People who regularly move or who aren't yet in their forever home will also find this type of storage convenient. Instead of buying expensive standalone closet systems or moving bulky furniture, this wardrobe is much more renter-friendly than for example, an IKEA PAX wardrobe (which can be difficult to move, and costs upward of $1,000).

In addition, this type of portable wardrobe is also a great option for people who live in walkups, or who have bedrooms that are on upper floors. In those cases, having a small and light closet that you can take apart and carry upstairs will be a huge advantage, whereas other types of traditional wardrobes require heavy lifting and can be hard to maneuver through tight stairways and doors.
