These instructions apply to assembly of a
floor-mounted, stand-alone shelving tower.
(See “Tower System” or “Hanging System”
for instructions on installation of either
wall-anchored towers in a system or
rail-hung shelving tower sections.)
For easiest assembly, stand-alone tower
components are usually put together into
the basic cabinet “box” on the floor

Assorted closet components (adj. and fixed cam
shelves, etc.)
(using the cardboard packaging as a buffer
between the floor and cabinet panels so that
you don’t scratch the laminate surface of the
panels).
Once the basic “box” is assembled, it can
be installed in the closet or pantry in its final
location. Additional cabinet components, such
as extra shelves, cabinet doors and drawers,
are installed later.
LOCATION: This unit is best suited for a stand-
alone tower which is not anchored to any side
wall. For closets with short soffits, narrow
reach-ins, small doors – tight spaces, you may
not be able to assemble the tower outside the
closet and then move it into its final location.
Check your work space prior to assembly to
ensure adequate maneuvering space is avail-
able. If the closet does not provide adequate
space to “build and move”, we recommend
following the “Tower System” instructions and
building the closet in its final location.
Stand Alone Tower
SHELVING/TOWER ASSEMBLY
CORRECT PARTS? Before beginning assembly
on the cardboard packaging, ensure your
tower partitions are the appropriate size(s) for
the design and space:
Consider whether your design requires thru-
drilled and/or stop-drilled panels.
Ensure notched panels clear the height of any
existing baseboard. Trim the panel’s notch to
fit, if necessary, before assembly of the tower.
Ensure tall panel tops will clear any low
ceiling heights. Otherwise, you will need to
follow "Tower System" assembly instructions
for floor-to-ceiling towers.
Screw-In Studs or Double-Sided Studs?
18
Use double-sided studs for contiguous closet
sections in which you need to have two fixed
shelves fastened to either side of the same
system hole. For example, you must use
double-sided studs for neighboring fixed shelves
of adjacent double hang sections. For Tower
System or Hanging System, a mix of screw-in
studs and double-sided studs may be used.
Use screw-in studs only in partitions
positioned on the end or in corners.
For stand-alone towers, screw-in-studs
will typically be used. Thread screw-in studs into
partition holes until the stop ring is snug with the
partition face.
