"closet organizer" 2010-03-02
By juniee (Houston, Texas United States)
The finsished project is a thing of beauty and so very wonderful. Glowing words I know for just a closet. My closet was such a mess I literally could not find thing in it. Now everything is within plain sight and easily accesable.


The project was not as easy to install as the manufacturer led me to believe however with the help of an able handyman it was installed perfectly. I would not advise the average DIYS to try this project. Another fault is that we had to keep ordering additional accessories to achieve the results we thought we saw in the photos. The photos are not misleading, its just that you really don't know what you want or need until the project is underway.


All in all I'm in love with the finished project.

  
"Good looking do-it-yourself option" 2009-06-16
By A Customer
We bought one kit for a 7' reach-in closet and had to modify it a bit because the instruction book gives suggestions for 10' and 8' layouts. I'd recommend a circular saw for cutting shelves and rods if your closet is not exactly 8' or 10'. Also not on the "required tools" list were a stud-finder and a drill. We found drilling pilot holes to be appropriate in some cases, and the large numbers of screws made using our drill a must. The wood is soft and frayed slightly when cut. Because of that, and a few nicks during installation, the included touch-up stain came in handy. Also useful was a transparent grid which allowed us to play around with different layouts before we ever began. Installation took two handy people about 6 hours, partly because of the limited space in the closet. I'd recommend removing the closet doors if you're not installing in a walk-in. I'd also HIGHLY recommend reading the instructions all the way through before beginning, laying out all the materials and labeling the bags of screws by length, and taking your time. This is not a job that can be rushed. When complete the closet looked great and the system is very sturdy.


"Beautifully functional" 2009-02-16
By Sunflower Sister (USA)
My husband and I are delighted with this solid wood closet organizing systerm. It's classy and beautiful--unlike the tacky particle board, plastic or wire systems in most stores. There's room for everything and more than one unit can be put together to fit any closet. Plus, shelves and towers can be purchased to fill any gaps. Would recommend this to anybody!


"Spend more time on plan than install" 2008-03-31
By Lucas T. Magee (Deep in the heart of Cincinnatti?!)
It was easier than wire shelving. The supplied hollow wall anchors are so-so. Using a cordless drill, hammer, and miter saw speed things up. If you are lucky enough to have straight walls, you shouldn't need the hammer. If you don't want arms like Popeye, get a drill (all fasteners are screws). This system also gives you a perfect excuse to go buy a laser level. Once the tools are collected and the plan is FINALLY agreed upon, the closet can be installed and used in under a day.

  
"Wall Board" 2007-09-08
By REP (Boston, MA USA)
First, the 16" model is available at Target for $479.99 (but we did have to pay a 5% sales tax)


The instructions are reasonably straight forward but should be read very carefully and:

(1) Make sure that you do not block any electrical outlets with the shelving by planning ahead and

(2) If you can find studs do so, plastic anchors they supply are OK, but the whole system is cantilevered (that is no support on the floor) so you have to be in solid to the wall, especially at the one bracket end.

(3) Finally when installing the tower brackets do make sure that they are the right distance apart AND in proper alignment to the top brackets that were the first step in installation, otherwise you might have the top shelf resting on only PART of the tower (it will work but not look "finished."


Also, you will need a 10 foot ceiling to hang two clothes racks in the same bay, on an eight foot ceiling you will be out of luck there is just not enough vertical space to do it.
