Hey there! This is Dominic with Expert Village and in this segment we’re going to talk about the brackets and shelves. Now if you guys know they got the wire shelf and they have like the little arms that come out of the wall. A lot of pre-construction homes have that, that’s kind of a cheap way of doing things as it’s just really fast and efficient you can just get it off and get out of there. Me personally it’s not safe and it just winds up crashing on you and little things come out of the wall it’s a big mess. Nothing like coming home to a closet full of clothes that just like fall out of the wall and it’s like all over the floor and you have to go back to the dry cleaner although the dry cleaners like that, and you’re like here’s 50 shirts at one time and you’re like can you resteam them for me. So first thing you want to do is… I got these brackets here and these are adjustable, what’s nice about these guys is once you mount them up to the wall you could actually take the arms and you can move them up or down so this is perfect for like a pantry, it’s perfect for a linen closet because you know if the family grows you get more towels you can lower the shelf to make more room. Those other shelves with the arms that come out of the wall those are there I mean in order to adjust things they have to like literary you have the move the entire thing you have to pull all out of the wall. So these are nice, they’re little bit more money but they’re more worth and they last longer. So these are what your going to get, depending on how high your closet is, or where you’re adjust to it measure it out of course. This is a pretty small wall, you know the walls are only about 7 feet tall, over here I have got a 5 foot brackets because I’m going to lay in here and between there and the next segment I’m actually going to show you guys how to install these things, the proper way, this is cool just wait till you see how these things work, stay tuned.
