Q.What are the Tower dimensions?
A.The Tower measures 72.7in. high and 26.25in. wide on the exterior. The interior height is 69.25in. and the interior width is 24in.
Q.How is the Tower mounted?
A.The Tower must be mounted directly to the back wall by using the provided metal hardware. The Tower can be set to the wall at any height.
Q.Are the Drawer Glides soft-close?
A.Yes. All John Louis Home drawers feature soft-close, full-extension ball-bearing glides for smooth, quiet operation.
Q.Can I use different handles on the doors and drawers?
A.Yes. While we provide premium hardware, the drawer handle spacing is a standard 5in., allowing you to customize the look to match your home's decor.
Q.How much clearance is there for hangers?
A.The metal garment bar sits 10.25in. from the back wall, providing full clearance for any standard hanger so your clothes hang naturally without rubbing the wall.
Q.Can I add more accessories later?
A.Absolutely. The towers feature interior grooves in 4in. increments. You can add jewelry trays, valet rods, or additional shelves at any time as your needs evolve.
Q.What is the actual weight capacity?
A.When installed directly into wood studs, this system is engineered to hold up to 1,200 lbs. It is a structural upgrade for your home, not just a storage kit.
Q.Is this real wood or a veneer?
A.This is 100% solid kiln-dried wood. We do not use MDF, particle board, or wood-grain Veneer.
Q.Is the finish safe for my family and clothes?
A.Absolutely. We use water-based, non-toxic stains with zero VOCs. There is no chemical smell or off-gassing after installation.
Q.What tools do I need for installation?
A.You will need a drill, a level, a screwdriver, and a fine-toothed saw (a miter saw is best) to cut the wood to your exact wall measurements.
Q.Can Shelf Kits be installed on brick or plaster?
A.John Louis Home shelving is designed for installation on current specifications and methods of wood studding and drywall. While the Shelf Kit can be installed on alternative wall types, custom wall preparation and hardware will be required.
Q.Can Shelf Kits be installed in a 90-degree corner?
A.Yes, Shelf Kits can be installed in a corner at a 90-degree angle. One shelf (A) is installed onto the back wall and side wall. The other shelf (B) is installed to the perpendicular wall and secured to the front of shelf (A) using the included Shelf End Hardware.
Q.What if my walls aren't perfectly square?
A.This is the benefit of a cut-to-fit system. Because you trim the wood on-site, you can account for "wavy" or out-of-square walls to get a professional, gap-free finish that pre-built kits can't match.
