Used to do the closet storage deal, but with closet space at a premium, I had to improvise. I had one of these things I was getting ready to toss:

I removed the shelves, and took a 3" hole saw to the top - I got 15 holes evenly spaced (3 rows of 5 holes). Next, I cut strips of felt to line the inside of the holes and glued them in place. Makes it easier to slide the tubes in and out, and protects the finish on those fancy aluminum tubes.
I'd post a picture, but I need to make two more of these things - it's surrounded by rod tubes.:oops:
