Construction

Make the legs 4 inches longer than the outside length of the box. Remove the cover. Turn the box on its side and nail on the legs. Fit the door, nail the cleats on, and hang it, placing the hinges between the edges of the door and leg if desired. Stand the closet on its legs and nail the top on, allowing it to project evenly all around. Screw six hooks into the under face of the top at the center of the closet, about 2 inches apart, and place a coat-hanger on each hook.
