Setup and Assembly

Assembly is recommended for two people to ensure stability and ease of construction. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Identify each part according to the parts list.
2. Assemble Base Frame: Connect the appropriate poles and connectors to form the rectangular base of the closet. Ensure all poles are fully inserted into the connectors for a secure fit.
3. Construct Vertical Supports: Attach the vertical poles to the base frame using the designated connectors. Ensure they stand upright and are stable.
4. Install Top Frame: Connect the remaining poles and connectors to form the top rectangular frame. Carefully lift and attach this top frame to the vertical supports.
5. Insert Hanging Rod: Place the hanging rod into the designated slots or hooks on the top frame. Ensure it is securely seated.

Proper care will extend the life of your clothes closet:
