If you're not handy don't expect the instructions to help, they're more of a general outline than how-to. For example they show a level as a needed tool but never mention using it. Marking the hole locations on the wall is another. It looks as if they are only marking the template, not the wall itself leaving one wondering where to drill the holes in the wall when you get to that step. And yes it's reversible but they don't bother to mention all you do is turn it upside down to do that.
