Safety Instructions

WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or damage.

This shelf is designed for indoor use only.
Ensure the wall is structurally sound and can support the shelf and its intended load.
Always mount into wall studs or use appropriate anchors for your wall type (drywall, concrete, etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 55 lbs (25 kg).
Keep away from heat sources and excessive moisture.
Use two people for installation to ensure safe handling.

Assembly Steps

Assemble the shelf before mounting it on the wall.

Lay the shelf board face down on a soft, protected surface.
Position the two metal brackets on the back of the shelf, aligning them with the pre-drilled holes.
Insert the provided screws through the bracket holes and into the shelf. Tighten securely with a screwdriver.
Ensure brackets are parallel and firmly attached.

Tip: Do not overtighten screws, as this may damage the particleboard.

Wall Installation

Proper installation is critical for safety and stability.

Decide on the desired height and location. Ensure there is enough clearance above and below.
Hold the assembled shelf against the wall in the desired position. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
Mark the positions of the bracket mounting holes on the wall with a pencil.
Set the shelf aside. Pre-drill holes at the marked locations using a drill bit slightly smaller than the wall anchors.
Gently tap the plastic wall anchors into the pre-drilled holes using a hammer.
Hold the shelf back against the wall, aligning the brackets with the anchors.
Insert the screws through the brackets and into the wall anchors. Tighten until the shelf is secure and does not wobble.
Press the white plastic cover caps onto the screw heads to conceal them.

CAUTION! Always verify the shelf is level and securely fastened before placing any items on it.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Possible Cause	Solution
Shelf is not level	Wall markings were inaccurate; brackets not aligned.	Remove shelf, re-mark holes using a level, and re-install.
Shelf feels loose or wobbles	Screws not tight; anchors not secure; wall material unsuitable.	Tighten all screws. If in drywall, ensure anchors are proper type and fully seated. Consider mounting into a wall stud.
Brackets not aligning with shelf holes	Brackets may be reversed.	Check bracket orientation. The flat side should be against the shelf back.
Surface damage (scratches, chips)	Occurs during assembly or from impact.	Minor scratches can be touched up with a matching white furniture marker. Avoid dragging items across the surface.
Cannot insert screw into wall	Drill bit too small; hard wall material.	Use the correct drill bit for your wall type (masonry bit for concrete). Ensure pre-drilled hole is deep enough.
