Questions

John Louis Home Questions:

 

·         Will your closet system fit my closet size? 

All systems fit closets up to 10 feet in wall length. The maximum configuration width is 10 feet; the closet system will fit into any wall dimension that is 10 ft. or less  

·         Will I get more shelving if I install the closet system on a wall smaller than 10 feet wide?  

Yes. When installed in a closet where the wall is 8 feet wide or less, you will be able to make additional 24" wide shelves from the excess shelf cuts to be used within your closet system. 

·         What is the height of your closet system?  We do not have a fixed height. The system is wall mounted whatever dimension you decide to place your top shelf determines the height. If your configuration utilizes a 24" wide shelf tower (fixed or adjustable) the tower height will be 6 feet down from the placement of your top shelf.  

·         How is the closet system mounted?  

We use an "Off-The-Floor" wall mounting system. The system utilizes 3 universal bracket types that are secured onto the walls. The shelves are then locked into the brackets. Since the shelving covers the majority of the brackets, minimal hardware is open to view. Because the closet system is raised, the closet floor space is clear of any obstructions. 

·         Does your system use corner pieces to connect perpendicular shelves?  

No. It's not necessary. The back of each shelf is mounted onto the wall. The front end of one shelf (shelf A) is mounted onto the sidewall using a shelf end bracket. The other shelf (shelf B) is mounted onto the front face of shelf A using a shelf end bracket where they meet. It's that simple.   

·         How can I configure my custom closet?  

Any way you desire. 8 standard configurations are supplied for your convenience.   

·         What tools are necessary to install a closet system? 

All you need is a tape measure, pencil, level, power screwdriver, fine blade hand saw and a basic proficiency with do-it-yourself projects and tools.  

·         What if my cut measurement is located in the middle of a shelf slat?  

There's two ways to handle this. One - The size of the shelf end bracket allows for short cuts. Therefore you may cut at the nearest slat side of your measurement. Two - Make your cut using a fine-toothed straight handsaw. Place the cut slat side facing the sidewall.   

·         Will the solid wood warp?  

The systems are made from quality kiln dried wood. The wood is treated and the multi-layered finish process blocks moisture intake. As with any natural product, warping may occur when used in areas that contain overly excessive amounts of moisture.

 

SAUDER:

What are the materials used in the construction of this furniture and does it require assembly?
        The furniture ships unassembled and is made of compressed particle board with laminate finish. All Sauder furniture is designed to last a long time, which is why they back everything they make with a full 5 year warranty.

A screwdriver and maybe a hammer are normally the only tools require for assembly. Any other special tools required usually come in the box. Easy-to-follow instructions make assembling the furniture a ton of fun. Depending on the size of the furniture, assembly time should take between 1-4 hours.
