Summary: 4 Stars
Just installed the closet yesterday - a one-day project which included demo of the old closet bar/shelf and re-painting. All in all, a very nice looking closet now. Take your time when you first design and lay out your closet - it's the foundation for how you'll like the finished product.
The closet arrived in excellent condition - no dents or dings in the outer packaging. Everything inside was well packaged but, upon inspection, one small piece was damaged (a corner was broken off one of the shelf support arms. It wasn't a big deal, as I used the enclosed marker to color the damaged part.) I don't see the support arms when there are clothes hanging... so I didn't bother to return.
For the money, looks and quality, I would have given this five stars, but I found during installation that the 1 1/2 inch screws required were replaced with 1 inch screws (which did not work for their intended application). I wasted a fair amount of time figuring out what I was doing wrong (I thought), and finally wound up at the hardware store buying the correct screws. Not that big of a deal, but I thought that dinging one star was appropriate.
I would certainly recommend two people to install this closet. I was able to install by myself, but an extra pair of hands would have been good at certain points during installation.
If you use the appropriate tools, pre-drill holes and take your time, you'll have no problems with installation. Some reviewers were complaining about the wall anchors, and I didn't have any problems with them after pre-drilling. In fact, a couple of anchors were attached without drilling, and I had no issues with them either...
I wouldn't call myself a home improvement "expert," but I've got a fair amount of experience with smaller jobs. The most important part is to take your time, and always be thinking ahead a few steps...
Another thought... if you're planning on selling or staging a home, you can't beat this closet... at $400, it'll add a great "custom" feel - $$$ - I'm planning on doing that with a condo we're planning to sell.
I like this product enough to buy another one... Definitely recommended.
