Step 1: Prep the Closet

Remove everything from the closet, including the doors and existing shelves.

Patch any holes with spackling compound or other appropriate filler, and paint the closet.

Step 2: Mark the Mounting Locations and Drill the Holes

Mark the mounting locations for the closet-organizer shelf tower on the back of the closet wall.

Mark the positions of the left and right side walls from their respective corners.

Dry-fit the support posts to determine where to drill holes for the wall anchors. Drill the holes, and drive the anchors into the wall.

Step 3: Mount the Brackets

When all holes are drilled and the anchors are in place, screw in bracket supports for the shelf-tower brackets (Image 1).

Hang the brackets onto the supports by sliding them in place (Image 2).
Mount the shelf-tower support post to the brackets with screws (Image 3).

Step 4: Install the Side Walls and Shelving

Begin installing the side wall by securing the clothes-hanger-bar brackets to the closet wall (Image 1).

Snap the shelf planking onto the shelf-tower unit (Image 2).

Set the hanger bars in place, and measure and mark a wire plank to be cut for the top shelf. Cut the wire plank with a hacksaw, and snap plastic caps onto the cut ends (Image 3).

Snap plastic caps onto the tops of the support posts.
