[quote=Anonymous]No shade on PP but the installation is really not difficult. You don't even need a stud finder. The only think you have to "install" is the top rail, which just involves drilling some pilot holes and if you hit a stud, use a wood screw. If you don't hit a stud, you use the included anchors. The whole system is secure even if you never hit a stud because of the way the hanging rails distribute pressure down the face of the wall.

Now, it might get a little trickier if you are installing into concrete for some reason (probably that would be an apartment, condo or garage situation).

Everything else just hangs on the top rail. They have videos that show how the drawers snap together. It will come with templates for spacing and directions. It's really not difficult.

When you take down your previous system you will have some gnarly holes, so it's best to have a few days to do that (pack a suitcase). Remember to push the edges of the hole into the wall, then spackle, wait for it to dry, sand, and repeat as needed. Prime and paint. Voila.

I agree with everyone else that it is life changing. I have stayed so organized for years after decades of a messy closet. Take the time to count your shoes and measure how much hanging space you want and think about drawers before you go in to have it designed, but of course you can adjust later on.

When you measure, measure everything including molding and door frames, etc. Take pictures, too. Bring all that to the store. Better to have to much information than too little. [/quote]
