This product looks professionally installed once completed. Just make sure you use a level!! It definitely increases the space of a small closet.

This product is all that it claims to be. Solid wood great finish. As with all previous reviews easy to install the only thing that takes time is figuring out your configuration once that is done its just cut to length and install. Comes with everything needed including a pen to hide the nicks that you may create while cutting or installing. I plan to get one of these for every closet in my home. Searched for months and this is the best product and price anywhere.

Took a bit of time to install, however love the results. Seems solid, however finish is somewhat thin (easy to scratch). Luckily they send a stain pen to cover up marks.

We recently installed the John Louis Standard Red Mahogany Closet System in our home and I am pleased with the look and function of the unit. If you are a prospective buyer, here are the things that might be of interest to you as you consider making this purchase. First, if you want it to be structurally sound and look like it does in the picture, you will need some degree of proficiency in basic woodworking and design layout. The system comes with diagrams which lay out a 10 foot closet system, and you will need to modify both the diagram and components of the system to fit your closet (unless your closet is 10 feet wide, then you?re set). The system is made of pine (mahogany stain), so it is forgiving to work with, but the cuts need to be precise and square. Secondly, I have a slight concern over the way the clothes rods attach to the shelves. Don?t get me wrong, overall it is a solid unit. I would be apprehensive about allowing your kid to use it as a ladder, but it can easily support the usual stuff you put in a closet. But the rods are clearly the engineering weak point. The rods are connected to the bottom of the shelf with a wooden bracket. This bracket is secured using one screw in the shelf and one screw in the rod. It is a soft wood and not a very big screw. There are plenty of brackets and plenty of screws, so you could use more, but that means less space on the rod to hang clothes and it is not as aesthetically pleasing. Despite my apprehension, my wife hung her clothes in the unit and nothing has come crashing down, so maybe these guys know just what they are doing. But for my own piece of mind, when I do it again (yes, we just bought another one), I?m going to use wood glue at the connection points. In sum, if you have some minimal woodworking skill, or you can hire someone who does, you will enjoy the look and function of this closet system.

But I still give it five stars. I live in a prewar building with plaster walls/ceilings. It took a bit longer to install since the walls aren't even, the studs weren't always easy to find, and then drilling into the plaster etc... Plus I know nothing about carpentry. It also took awhile to figure out the instructions, but now I get it. Everyone is amazed at how good it looks, and assume that I had a professional come in and do it. But I've had it with overpriced NYC contractors so now I do everything myself.

Having read the reviews...my husband and I were not sure we would be able to put this system in ourselves. While the directions leave something to be desired, it went up fairly easily. We are both very happy with the final product.

• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I have to say it took awhile to purchase this since it is a gamble when buying on line. I am very happy with it because of the quality, color and workmanship. The builder wanted to charge far more for installing a closet not even close to this.We are buying another for the opposite side of the closet.

My husband and I purchased this for our new dressing room. We received it within 5 days and we were super excited to put it together. It did take my husband a little bit to decide on what configuration we wanted, but after we did it went pretty smoothly. He said the possibilites were endless as to how we could put it together. We are trying to decide whether to buy another system, or just accessory pieces. I am leaning towards another system because the accessories seem a bit pricey. I LOVE this new piece. My son came in and said wow mom it looks like a store in here. I can't say enough good things about this system!!! Will buy again for sure!

We purchased several items from this collection. First to put up was the John Louis Delux Red Mahogany Closet System. My husband found the directions to be somewhat user unfriendly, but was very pleased with the quality and materials. Final installed product was very nice, and we were excited about moving along with the other systems. We purchased the John Louis Standard Red Mahogany Closet System strictly for space considerations. The quality is night and day - I was sure we had been duped into buying some sort of knockoff, but the instruction booklet touts the name John Louis. The shelves were warped, the wood split once the screws were driven in. And the screws that don't split the wood are staring at everyone when they come face to face with the unit. First disasterous buy from Overstock! Waste of time, waste of money, waste of brand new walls in a brand new room.Hugely disappointed, disgusted, and may never be back.

Purchased this for a closet in a spare bedroom to store stuff and maximize the closet space. This product took my man an entire morning to install. More time was put in to measuring and designing the set up I wanted then actually hanging it up. It looks great, I am happy with the quality (real pine wood) and it seems sturdy. I like it so much I fully intend to purchase the 16inch one and some additional components for my master closet. I had shopped many home improvement stores and this closet system looks the best and was a better value compared to the pressed wood board ones we saw. Received undamaged and within 4 days of my order!

Bought this a couple of weeks ago...delivery took about a week. My husband installed it and was not too hard for him, but i could not have installed it myself. It's pretty good quality except for the little pieces of wood that go between the shelf and the rod that you hang the clothes on. They are flimsy and not very druable. Good thing they give you extra pieces because two of them broke just during the installation. The others have held up so far...but don't expect them to last too long. It looks great though!

I bought 2 of these for my walk-in closet. It's a dream come true...an organized, beautiful closet. I had my contractor assemble it to my specifications. I've been showing off my closet to friends and they all love these units.

Great Organizer! Love It!!! Looks incredible and very strong, so it will hold alot of weight. Might purchase more for my other closets.

During a recent addition to our home I purchased 3 sets of these organizers. One for our 7 year old daughter and two for the master bedroom closet and they are wonderful. Our daughter keeps her closet organized and loves hanging up her clothes (that is worth the money right there) and now both my husband and I can see what we actually have for clothes - even things we forgot we had as we no longer struggle for space. I had the contractor put them in so I cannot comment on the ease of assemby myself but I know that the fellow got faster with each closet. The contractor thought they were "custom closets" and was quite surprised to know where I had purchased them. Everyone who has seen them can't believe the quality and different configurations that are available. A couple pieces did have nicks or a scratch but we just turned them to the back of the closet and you can't see them. I would highly recommend this product and I can see myself purchasing more for other areas in my home. Thank you Overstock.

Great looking system. Good value. Fairly easy to install once you decide how you want it layed out. Recommend it to all.

I bought 2 of these and one came with a little dent on the side. I'm not a handyman by any means. It took me about 4 hours to put 1 closet up. I spent most of that time measuring and making sure the dimensions. The top shelf is way too tall if you follow their drawing at 7 feet. So I had to lower it and redesign some parts to make them look good. Also, be sure you get a good saw to cut the shelf to desired length. Overall, it looks good but I feel they should make it easier to install.

This closet system is lovely. I wasn't home when my husband put it all together but he said it wasn't hard. It looks so great and the quality is fantastic. I am so happy we purchased this. I highly recommend this closet system.

• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Overall very good system but I only got three shelves and the photo shows 5 or 6??The deluxe system had hanging rods but the standard system had no hanging rods.I thought they were supposed to be identical except for the depth of shelves. I wonderif I got the correct product?

• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Fast and easy way to create an organized closet. Nice construction. Once up, the system is sturdy. Add baskets for odd things and voila!

• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

The closet system looks beautiful - once you get through the directions. Be prepared to get frustrated in the beginning, but once you get into the groove, it will turn out great!
