Although the unit comes with instructions, you can also view the installation process on YouTube to make it a little easier. It is relatively easy to put this thing together once you figure out the spacing and where you want it to be.  I have it installed in the bonus room above the garage which required me to shorten the 48" double hang bars. In my configuration I will be using the bottom bar for shoes; however the top one can still be used for hanging clothes. I would highly recommend this kit if you have enough space, otherwise get ready for some modifications that can sometimes be pretty complex to some people.
