Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before beginning assembly.

Assemble on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratches.
Use two people for handling larger parts and during wall mounting.
Ensure the wall is suitable for mounting (studs or solid masonry).
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
Keep small hardware away from children.

WARNING! Improper installation can cause the unit to fall, resulting in serious injury or damage. Always secure to wall studs or use appropriate anchors.

Step-by-Step Assembly

Follow these steps in order. Do not fully tighten screws until the structure is aligned.

Attach Side Panels to Mounting Rails: Lay side panels flat. Align mounting rails to pre-drilled holes on the inner side of each panel. Insert and hand-tighten the provided screws.
Install Shelf Supports: Decide on shelf height positions. Insert the shelf support pins into the desired holes on the side panels.
Place Shelf Boards: Gently place each shelf board onto the support pins. Ensure they are level and seated securely.
Final Tightening: Once all parts are aligned, use the Allen key to fully tighten all connector screws. Do not overtighten.

Tip: Assemble the unit near its final location to avoid moving the completed structure.

Wall Mounting Installation

This is a critical step for safety. The unit must be securely anchored to the wall.

Locate Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to locate solid wooden studs in your wall. Mark their centers with a pencil.
Position the Unit: Hold the assembled shelf unit against the wall in the desired location. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the positions of the mounting bracket holes on the wall.
Drill Pilot Holes: If drilling into studs, drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter at your marks. If not in a stud, drill holes for the included wall anchors.
Insert Anchors: Tap wall anchors into the drilled holes in drywall or masonry until flush.
Secure the Unit: Lift the unit into place, aligning the bracket holes with the wall holes. Insert the long mounting screws through the brackets and into the studs or wall anchors. Tighten securely with a screwdriver.
Final Check: Gently pull on the unit to confirm it is firmly attached to the wall. Re-check level.

CAUTION! Failure to mount this unit to the wall can result in tipping, especially if loaded or if children climb on it.

Weight Capacity & Limitations

Maximum Load per Shelf: 15 kg (33 lbs).
Total Unit Capacity: 45 kg (99 lbs).
Recommended Use: Books, decorative items, small electronics, storage bins.
Not Recommended For: Heavy appliances, large aquariums, or as a climbing structure.
Wall Type: Must be mounted to solid wood studs, concrete, or brick. Not suitable for plasterboard alone without proper hollow-wall anchors.

Adjusting & Configuring Shelves

The shelf heights are adjustable to accommodate items of different sizes.

Remove Items: Empty the shelf you wish to adjust.
Lift Shelf: Gently lift the shelf board up and off the support pins.
Reposition Pins: Remove the metal support pins from their current holes and insert them into the desired set of holes on the side panels.
Replace Shelf: Lower the shelf board back onto the new pin positions. Ensure it is level and secure.

Note: For stability, ensure at least two shelves are mounted at all times, and distribute weight evenly.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your shelf looking its best:

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
For light cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soapy water. Wipe dry immediately.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.
Do not allow liquids to pool on the surface.
Periodically check the tightness of wall screws and brackets.

CAUTION! Do not use wax, polish, or silicone-based sprays as they may damage the finish.
