Safety Instructions

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

Two-person job: Assembly and mounting are easier and safer with two people.
Check wall type: Ensure wall is suitable for mounting (drywall, plaster, masonry). Use appropriate anchors or mount directly into wall studs.
Use all hardware: Do not skip screws or anchors.
Do not exceed weight limit: Max load per shelf is 15 kg (33 lbs). Distribute weight evenly.
Keep away from children during assembly: Small parts are a choking hazard.
Secure placement: Do not mount above beds, sofas, or in areas where people may sit or lie underneath.

Step-by-Step Assembly

Assemble on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratches.

Attach brackets to rails: Position two brackets onto one mounting rail. Align holes and secure using the provided small screws. Repeat for the second rail.
Pre-assemble shelf unit: Place the shelf boards onto the brackets. Do not fully tighten screws yet.
Check alignment: Use a level to ensure the shelves are straight. Adjust brackets if necessary.
Final tightening: Once aligned, fully tighten all screws connecting the shelves to the brackets.
Verify stability: Gently test the assembly for wobbles before mounting.

Tip: Leave the unit loosely assembled until it is mounted on the wall for easier handling.

Wall Mounting Instructions

This is the most critical step. Mounting into wall studs is strongly recommended.

Locate studs: Use a stud finder to locate solid wooden studs behind the wall. Mark their centers with a pencil.
Plan placement: Decide on the height and level for the shelf. Hold the assembled unit against the wall to visualize.
Mark drill holes: Using a level, mark the positions for the top mounting holes on the rail through the bracket holes.
Drill pilot holes: If drilling into studs, drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter at your marks. If using drywall anchors, drill holes to the size specified by the anchor.
Insert anchors (if needed): Tap plastic wall anchors into the drywall holes with a hammer until flush.
Mount the unit: With help, lift the shelf unit and align the bracket holes with the wall holes. Insert and tighten the large screws into the studs or anchors. Start with the top screws, check level, then install bottom screws.
Final check: Ensure all screws are tight. Apply gentle downward pressure to test stability.

CAUTION! A improperly mounted shelf can fall, causing injury or damage. Always mount into studs or use appropriate heavy-duty anchors for the wall type.

Weight Capacity & Limitations

Maximum load per shelf: 15 kg (33 lbs).
Total system capacity: 30 kg (66 lbs).
Do not place: Aquariums, large electronics, or other excessively heavy items.
Recommended items: Books, decorative objects, small plants, photo frames.
Environmental: For indoor use only. Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity (e.g., bathrooms), and heat sources.

Care & Maintenance

Unload shelf before any maintenance.

Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry immediately.
Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents.
Tighten screws: Check and tighten mounting and assembly screws every 6-12 months.
Inspect: Regularly check for signs of sagging, loose brackets, or wall damage.

CAUTION! Do not stand or sit on the shelf. It is not designed to support human weight.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Shelf is not level	Wall uneven or incorrect mounting	Remount using a level during installation. Use shims behind brackets if wall is uneven.
Shelf wobbles or feels loose	Loose screws or improper mounting	Tighten all screws. Ensure screws are anchored in studs or proper wall anchors.
Brackets won't align with rail	Parts assembled incorrectly	Disassemble and follow Step 1 of assembly carefully. Ensure you are using the correct screws.
Screw spins in wall	Anchor not set or stripped	Remove screw and anchor. Use a larger anchor or relocate to a stud.
Shelf sags under weight	Exceeded weight limit	Immediately remove items. Redistribute weight or reduce total load below 15 kg per shelf.
