Specifications

For Furniture Support: Place the assembled support under the center of the furniture unit. Ensure it makes full contact.

For Wall Mounting: 1. Locate wall studs using a stud finder. 2. Hold the support in the desired position and use a level to ensure it is straight. 3. Mark the screw holes from the brackets onto the wall. 4. Pre-drill pilot holes at the marks. 5. Align the support brackets with the holes and secure to the wall using suitable screws (not always included for wall mounting). 6. Tighten securely and re-check level.

Install: Ensure the supported furniture is centered on the beam. Adjust feet to eliminate wobble on uneven floors.

Care & Maintenance

Regular care ensures longevity and performance.

1. Periodically check all fasteners for tightness (every 3-6 months).
2. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately.
3. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.
4. Inspect the support and the furniture it holds for signs of stress or damage.

Tip: A quick check of tightness after the first few weeks of use is recommended as materials may settle.

Adjustments & Configuration

The support features basic adjustments for optimal fit and stability.

1. Leveling: Turn the adjustable feet clockwise to raise that corner, counter-clockwise to lower it.
2. Bracket Position: Loosen the bracket screws slightly to slide the bracket along the beam's slot for different furniture widths, then re-tighten.
3. Final Check: After any adjustment, ensure the supported furniture is stable and does not rock.

WARNING! Make adjustments only when the furniture is unloaded or has a very light load. Never adjust under full weight.

Weight Limits & Compatibility

Maximum Load: Clearly stated in specifications. Distribute weight evenly across the support.

Compatible Furniture: Primarily designed for IKEA shelving units, TV benches, and similar storage furniture. Check the product page or manual of your furniture item for specific support requirements.

Disassembly & Moving

To move or store the support, follow disassembly steps in reverse order.

1. Remove any load from the support and the furniture.
2. Unscrew and remove the support from the wall or furniture.
3. Using the Allen key, loosen and remove the screws connecting the brackets to the beam.
4. Remove the adjustable feet.
