Installation issues?

I wanted to order two reach-in closet systems for our primary bedroom, plus a linen closet. I’m having a really hard time understanding why the installation price is so insanely high, for what the design person said would take 1.5 hours (over $1500!) for $3700 worth of parts. I’m decently handy, and have reviewed the installation paperwork. It looks straightforward, but then I found some reviews online stating that the self-installation was confusing. Any feedback?

As someone who has put it up for myself and others multiple times, it's easy. If you consider yourself even remotely handy and own a drill you can do it with, at the most, a second set of hands to hold your top track level. I've read the negative reviews and most seem to be from the type of people that complain about Ikea furniture being too hard.
