Setup and Assembly Instructions
- Prepare Vertical Rods: Each vertical rod consists of multiple segments. Screw the segments together firmly to form two complete vertical rods. Ensure the top hook is securely attached to the uppermost segment.
- Attach Plastic Clips: Locate the desired height for your lower hanging rod. The vertical rods have grooved indicators for precise placement. Snap two plastic clips onto each vertical rod at the same height, ensuring the arrows on the clips point upwards. These clips will support the horizontal rod.
- Insert Horizontal Rod: Slide the adjustable horizontal rod through the plastic clips on both vertical rods.
- Adjust Width: The horizontal rod can be adjusted in width from 18 inches to 30 inches. Extend or retract the rod to your desired width. There are 7 spring positions in 2-inch increments for precise adjustment.
- Hang the Unit: Carefully hang the assembled unit onto your existing closet rod using the top hooks of the vertical rods. Ensure both hooks are securely seated.

Operating Instructions
The Simple Houseware Adjustable Closet Hanging Rod offers two main adjustments:
- Adjusting Width: To change the width of the horizontal rod, gently pull or push the inner rod to extend or retract it. The rod will click into one of the 7 preset spring positions, ranging from 18 inches to 30 inches.
- Adjusting Height: To adjust the height of the lower horizontal rod, unhook the unit from your main closet rod. Carefully remove the plastic clips from the vertical rods and reposition them to a different grooved indicator. Ensure both clips are at the same height before re-inserting the horizontal rod and re-hanging the unit. The vertical rod is adjustable in 1-inch increments.
