(More customer reviews)Our closet came with a single shelf and a single rod hanging beneath it. That was all I needed for many years, but now I'm married and have a child. Our storage needs have gone way up and the old configuration proved to be inefficient and inadequate. Thus it was that we discovered the John Louis Premier Solid Wood Closet System. It seemed like something that would work. We installed it in "Configuration C" and it works splendidly.
A note of caution is in order. Before you attempt to install this closet system, you'd better do an honest evaluation of your skills. Are you very handy around the home, or are you just barely able to get things put together? If the answer is the latter, don't attempt this project. It's very difficult. The instructions are opaque, to say the least. This project will favor those who are able to improvise when things don't go well. Things won't. If you are unable to do anything except following instructions, don't attempt this project. I ended up with far more parts than I would ever have needed, and not enough parts to get the job done.
After the very difficult task of getting the whole thing assembled inside the closet, I found that there were only two "G Shelves," although the drawings I was following clearly indicated three were necessary. Hmmmm. There were enough parts for the installation of three shelves, but there were, in fact, only two shelves included in the package and, clearly, no room for three. I called a 1-800 number and explained the situation. First, the telephone experience was exceptionally good. I got a person on the first ring and the lady was both understanding and helpful. She said an additional shelf would be shipped immediately. Evidently this is an ongoing problem that they are familiar with. But, why would they sell a product that indicated the need for three shelves but supply only two?
Another thing I noted was that a little tube of finish repair was included in the package. Expect to use the repair kit. The wood finish on this closet is very easy to damage and the repair kit will come in handy.
Well, all in all, my experience with this closet system is very mixed. I love the way it looks and works. I hope it lasts over an extended period as the wood seems very easy to damage. I gave it four stars, but perhaps three and a half might be closer.

Wall-Mounted Design for Greater FlexibilityLike all John Louis Home Closet Systems, the Premier does not have a fixed height. Due to its wall-mounted design, wherever you decide to place your top shelf determines the height. This gives you greater flexibility in creating a space that meets your specific needs.
Multiple Components Offer Durability and EleganceWhether in a bedroom, pantry, linen closet, laundry room, or foyer closet, the Premier closet organizer system showcases quality and attention to detail and creates a durable system with real visual appeal. Beautiful in a red mahogany finish, the wood closet shelving unit is both elegant and refined. It also provides you with efficient and attractive closet organization to last a lifetime, with high quality materials and 12-inch-deep shelves.
100% Solid Wood for Long-Lasting Beauty, Moisture Control, and StrengthDesigned with versatility in mind, this shelving system offers the best in features and functionality. Most importantly, kiln-dried, 100% solid wood construction prevents warping and sagging; the multi-layered finish also adds a rich look while blocking moisture intake. Additionally, this set includes all-metal hardware, with a decorative satin nickel finish, for strong and secure mounting without flexing or sagging.
"Off the Floor" Mounting for Ease of Installation; Ventilation for Air CirculationThe Premier system utilizes "off the floor" mounting, making it easy to install. Three universal bracket types are secured to the walls, and the shelves are locked in to the brackets. Since the shelving covers the majority of the brackets, minimal hardware is visible. And because the closet system is raised, the closet floor space is clear of any obstructions. The system is also ventilated for air circulation, preventing musty odors and allowing clothes to breathe.
Six-Foot Integrated Tower for AccessoriesThis system includes a six-foot integrated tower to provide adjustable shelf capability and to give you a dedicated space for handbags, belts, hosiery, and other accessories. For more storage options, tower doors and 12-inch adjustable shelf accessory add-ons are available to enhance functionality.
