Assembly Steps

Follow the steps in order. Use the included Allen key for all screws.

1. Attach Base Plates: Connect base plates (F) to the bottom of vertical frames (A & B) using cam lock screws (G).
2. Insert Shelf Support Pins: Decide shelf heights. Insert support pins (H) into the pre-drilled holes on the inner sides of both vertical frames.
3. Install Back Panel: Slide the back panel (D) into the grooves on the rear of the vertical frames. Tap gently into place.
4. Place Shelves: Rest shelves (C) on the installed support pins. Ensure they are level and secure.
5. Attach Top Cap: Place the top cap (E) onto the top of the vertical frames. Secure from underneath with remaining cam lock screws.
6. Final Check: Tighten all screws. Ensure the unit does not wobble. Attach to the wall if included.

Tip: Do not fully tighten screws until all parts are aligned.

Adjusting Shelves

Shelves can be repositioned to accommodate items of different heights.

1. Remove all items from the shelf you wish to adjust.
2. Lift the shelf straight up and off the support pins.
3. Remove the support pins from the current holes using pliers if needed.
4. Insert the pins into the desired set of holes on the vertical frames.
5. Carefully lower the shelf onto the new set of pins.
6. Ensure the shelf is level and stable before placing items back.

Note: For stability, ensure at least two support pins are used per side of each shelf.

Weight Capacity

• Maximum load per shelf: 15 kg (33 lbs).
• Total unit capacity: 60 kg (132 lbs).
• Distribute weight evenly across the shelf surface.
• Avoid placing excessively heavy items (e.g., large toolboxes, heavy electronics) on the top shelf if the unit is not secured to the wall.

Exceeding weight limits may cause bending or collapse.

Care & Maintenance

Clean regularly to maintain appearance.

1. Metal Frame: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
