One thing to consider when measuring your closet is that the door to your closet may not be in the middle so that when you are placing the closet system, it may be necessary to have one side bar longer than the other. Ours worked out but it was close. You want the shelves in the middle of your closet door entry. It is a simple but efficient closet system that worked for us. I ordered the extra bar so that we had 4 bars. Only 3 are included.  I found (on Wayfair) a clothes hamper that fit in the bottom part of the shelving unit. Love, love this closet system.
