- Attach Casters to Base: Insert the four casters into the designated holes at the bottom of the horizontal base bars. Ensure two locking casters are placed on one side for easy braking. Tighten securely.
- Assemble Base Frame: Connect the vertical support poles to the horizontal base bars using the provided fasteners. Ensure the frame is stable.
- Install Top Hanging Bar: Secure the top hanging bar between the upper sections of the vertical support poles.
- Install Adjustable Middle Bar: Attach the adjustable middle hanging bar to the vertical support poles at your desired height. This bar can be adjusted vertically and horizontally. Use the provided screws and nuts to secure its initial position.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Middle Hanging Bar:
- Vertical Adjustment: The middle bar can be set at different heights. To adjust, loosen the screws on both ends of the bar, slide it to the desired height, and then re-tighten the screws securely. There are typically pre-drilled holes or notches for common height settings.
- Horizontal Adjustment (Extension): The middle bar features an extendable section. To extend or retract, locate the clamp or locking mechanism on the bar, release it, slide the inner bar to the desired length (up to 19 inches of additional width), and then secure the clamp.

Using the Casters:
- To move the garment rack, ensure the wheel brakes on the locking casters are disengaged.
- To keep the rack stationary, engage the wheel brakes on the locking casters by pressing down on the lever.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Caster Care: Keep casters free of debris (hair, lint) to ensure smooth rolling.
