If you put this together by yourself, do it my way.
If you're putting this together by yourself, do it my way. I'm a senior lady and I put it together by myself, but not their way. As Frank would say, I did my way. Basically you have 4 poles and two shelves. The shelves slide onto the poles. There are plastic sleeves that hold the shelves in place. The poles come in two pieces that you thread together making 4 long poles. The top of the pole is capped, the bottom of the pole has an opening where you screw on the wheels. This is where we start doing it my way. I did this working on the floor. Slide the shelves onto the poles, about a foot from each end. By doing this the shelves will support these long poles so they are not flopping around. This also makes it easier to see where you want the shelves to be. Now you put the sleeves on. Remember they will go under the shelves. The sleeves are marked "Top". This is because the sleeves are wider on the bottom and that's what keeps the shelves in place. Put the sleeves where the you want the bottom shelf to be and slide the bottom shelf down over the sleeves. Slide the top shelf to where you want it to be, then put the sleeves on UNDER the top shelf. Then slide the top shelf down over the sleeves. Screw the casters into the bottom pole. Stand the garment rack up. Put the hanging rod together and slide it down over the top shelf. You're done. Forget the wrench, it's nothing more than a piece of metal cut in the shape of a wrench. I used my hands and fingers.
It's been several weeks now and I'm updating this to Five Stars. I keep it in my bedroom as an extra closet. It's loaded with clothes, it never wobbles. There are times when I have to move it around and it rolls easily. After I had this assembled, I decided I wanted to raise the top shelf. I took everything out. Lifted the hanging rod off. Keeping the garment rack in a standing position, I pounded up on the bottom of the top shelf to loosen it from the sleeves. I then moved the sleeves up then lowered the shelf back down. Was easy to do.
Another update from Senior Lady. For those of you who use this in your bedroom as a closet and want to cover it, here's an easy way to do it. Use shower curtains. They are the perfect length and already have holes around the top. You can use regular shower hooks or just string something through the holes and tie them on. Drape something over the top, table cloth, lace curtain, whatever you choose. If the top piece slides, lay something on it to weigh it down. You will have something that looks nice and keeps your clothes dust free.
