Placement & Stability

Proper placement and wall attachment are critical for safety.

Place the shelf unit on a flat, level, and stable floor.

Wall Attachment (MANDATORY):
- Locate the solid wall studs using a stud finder.

- Attach the shelf unit to the wall bracket using the provided screws.

WARNING! Never place heavy items on the top shelf without securing the unit to the wall. The unit's center of gravity rises as shelves are loaded, increasing tip-over risk.

Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild detergent if necessary. Dry immediately.
Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the coating.
Rust Prevention: Although rust-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Wipe up spills immediately.
Inspection: Periodically check that all screws are tight and the wall attachment is secure.

CAUTION! Do not use the shelf as a workbench, ladder, or step stool.
