Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Use caution when handling tools and mounting shelf.

  1. Weight limit: Do not exceed 15 kg (33 lbs) total load.
  2. Wall mounting: Must be mounted to solid wall (studs or masonry) using provided hardware.
  3. Children safety: Do not allow children to climb on or hang from shelf.
  4. Tool safety: Wear safety glasses when drilling.

WARNING! Improper installation can cause shelf to fall, resulting in injury or damage. Ensure wall can support weight.

Assembly Steps

Assemble shelf before wall mounting.

  1. Lay shelf board face down on soft surface to prevent scratches.
  2. Align metal brackets to pre-drilled holes on underside of shelf.
  3. Insert screws from pack through bracket holes into shelf. Hand-tighten first.
  4. Use screwdriver to fully tighten all screws. Do not overtighten.
  5. Check that brackets are secure and perpendicular to shelf.

Tip: Keep screws slightly loose until all are started, then tighten evenly.

Wall Installation

Mounting to wall requires careful measurement.

  1. Locate wall studs using stud finder. Mark stud centers.
  2. Hold assembled shelf against wall at desired height (recommended 150-160 cm from floor).
  3. Use level to ensure shelf is horizontal. Mark wall through bracket mounting holes.
  4. Drill pilot holes at marks. For drywall without studs, use included wall anchors.
  5. Align brackets with holes. Insert screws through brackets into wall (or anchors). Tighten securely.
  6. Gently test shelf stability by applying downward pressure.

CAUTION! Always mount into studs when possible. For tile or masonry, use appropriate drill bits and anchors.
