Steven TinesModels: JLH-WCU, JLH-WCUGD (U-Shaped Configurations)
Professional Insight: These U-Shaped Walk-In Closet Organizers are curated "bundles" comprising multiple individual John Louis Home components (Towers, Shelf Kits, Garment Bar Kits, Drawers, and Doors). Because these systems are modular, the guide below navigates the specific order of operations (Wall A, then Wall C, then Wall B) to create the U-shape structure. You will reference the individual component guides linked in each step for the exact details of how to assemble that specific part.

Wall B Process
Step 1: Measure & Install Shelf
Expert's Note: The Wall B upper shelf installs into the face of the Wall A and Wall C upper shelves. The length of Shelf C should be determined by measuring the actual distance between the faces of the Wall A and Wall C upper shelves.
Action: Mark Shelf C position on the wall (typically 84in). Review shelf installation instructions on how to perform a corner shelf installation.
Step 2: Garment Bar Installation & Finishing Touches
Action: Attach Garment Bar under the Wall B shelf. If you have excess shelf cuts over 24in, you can create additional adjustable shelves and insert them into the towers at your desired location.
