Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble the shelf components.

Lay all parts on a clean, flat surface.
Identify the left and right wall brackets (marked L and R).
Align the shelf panel with the pre-drilled holes on the brackets.
Insert the provided screws through the bracket holes into the shelf panel.
Tighten all screws securely using a Phillips screwdriver, but do not overtighten.
Ensure the shelf is firmly attached to both brackets and does not wobble.

NOTE: Do not fully tighten screws until all are in place to allow for minor adjustments.

Mounting to Wall

Proper wall mounting is crucial for safety and stability.

Decide on the desired height and location for the shelf. Ensure it is away from heat sources and moisture.
Hold the assembled shelf against the wall at the desired position. Use a level to ensure it is straight.
Mark the positions of the bracket mounting holes on the wall with a pencil.
Set the shelf aside. Drill holes at the marked positions using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry bit for concrete, wood bit for studs).
If mounting into drywall or plaster without a stud, insert the provided wall anchors into the holes using a hammer.
Align the bracket holes with the wall holes. Insert the mounting screws through the brackets and into the wall anchors or studs.
Tighten the screws securely until the brackets are flush against the wall.
Place the shelf onto the mounted brackets and ensure it is secure.

WARNING! Always mount into wall studs or use appropriate anchors for the wall material. The shelf must be mounted to support the maximum weight capacity.

Weight Capacity & Usage

Maximum Load: 15 kg (33 lbs) evenly distributed.
Recommended Items: Books, decorative objects, small electronics, photo frames.
Not Recommended: Heavy appliances, liquids in open containers, excessive weight beyond limit.
Wall Type: Suitable for solid walls (concrete, brick) or stud walls (wood/metal studs). For hollow walls, use appropriate heavy-duty anchors.

CAUTION! Do not exceed the maximum weight limit. Overloading can cause the shelf to detach from the wall, resulting in injury or damage.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your shelf in good condition.

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that may damage the powder-coated finish.
Periodically check the tightness of screws and wall mounts to ensure stability.

NOTE: Do not use the shelf as a step ladder or support for climbing.
