I have completed three walk-in closets using this system, and the quality surpasses that of other systems I previously used. The materials are sturdier, featuring thicker Melamine and superior hardware, including pulls and soft-close mechanisms. The assembly process is straightforward with some experience in locating studs and using a level; each closet takes about a day and a half to complete. There is a bit of a learning curve with the system. Utilizing the design tool and consulting with a design representative is highly recommended. One representative significantly improved my design, accommodating sloped roof lines and allowing for additional outlets and doors. The 3D rendering feature is particularly useful. Shipping is done via private freight, so being present upon delivery is advisable. My closets arrived on plastic-wrapped pallets, conveniently placed in my garage. I organized the components into verticals and shelves. One box is marked for initial opening, containing all the instructions and hardware. Taking the time to sort through the components is essential; I found using an egg carton helpful for organization. Leveling the floor-mounted units requires shims, and I also utilized them to ensure hanging sections are perfectly aligned. After connecting sections with shelving, it’s crucial to level and square them, including securing L-brackets to the wall. For shorter hanging segments, I added L-brackets with my own hardware for stability. A short level and a longer one (at least 2 feet) are necessary, and I also had a 4-foot level from a previous project that proved beneficial. A laser level helped outline the closet, especially where the floor isn't entirely level. Installation requires using provided toggles when a stud isn't available. Properly setting the toggle requires outward tension on the track while advancing the screw. If the toggle struggles with insulated walls, an alternative method is necessary to avoid complications. When hanging tracks, avoid using the last hole whenever possible, as it will be where a vertical needs to be attached. Modifying a vertical with a drill can be imprecise; using an oscillating saw for trimming is recommended for better control. I suggest drilling pilot holes rather than attempting to screw directly into the melamine, which can lead to complications. Having a separate drill ready with the appropriate bit streamlines the process for drawers and L-brackets. Customer service is outstanding; they replaced a damaged board and two incorrectly measured shelves at no cost. A representative was very patient while I gathered necessary information for replacements. Take your time, and you'll achieve a professional-looking result. This investment is worthwhile, considering the design tool, consultations, and customer support included.
