Safety Instructions

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

  1. This shelf is designed for indoor use only.
  2. Ensure the wall is suitable for mounting (solid wood studs, concrete, or masonry).
  3. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 25 lbs (11 kg).
  4. Keep children and pets away during assembly and mounting.
  5. Use two people for assembly to prevent accidents.

Assembly Steps

Follow these steps in order. Do not fully tighten screws until all parts are aligned.

  1. Unpack all parts and lay them on a clean, soft surface.
  2. Attach brackets to the shelf board using the provided screws and Allen key.
  3. Ensure brackets are parallel and aligned with pre-drilled holes.
  4. Hand-tighten screws; do not overtighten to avoid damaging the wood.
  5. Check that the shelf board sits level on the brackets.

Tip: Assemble on the floor or a large table for easier handling.

Wall Mounting

Mounting is critical for safety. Use a stud finder to locate solid support.

  1. Decide on shelf height and location. Ensure it is away from heat sources and moisture.
  2. Hold the assembled shelf against the wall. Use a level to ensure it is straight.
  3. Mark the screw holes on the wall with a pencil.
  4. Drill pilot holes at marked points, using appropriate drill bit for your wall type.
  5. Insert wall anchors (if not using studs).
  6. Align brackets with holes and secure with screws using a screwdriver.
  7. Double-check stability by applying gentle downward pressure.

CAUTION! If drilling into drywall without studs, use appropriate anchors and ensure weight limit is strictly followed.

Weight Capacity

Overloading may cause the shelf to detach from the wall, resulting in injury or damage.

Care & Maintenance

To maintain appearance and longevity:

  1. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  2. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Dry immediately.
  3. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or steel wool.
  4. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity.
  5. Periodically check wall mounting for tightness.
