Assembly Instructions
Assembly is required for this product. It is recommended that two people assemble the quilt rack to ensure stability and ease of construction. A soft, clean surface should be used during assembly to prevent damage to the wood finish.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a protected surface. Verify all listed components are present.
- Attach Horizontal Rungs: Align the ends of the three horizontal rungs with the pre-drilled holes on one of the side frames. Insert the provided screws and partially tighten them with the Allen wrench.
- Attach Second Side Frame: Carefully align the other ends of the horizontal rungs with the pre-drilled holes on the second side frame. Insert the remaining screws and partially tighten.
- Attach Base Rungs: Connect the three base rungs between the lower sections of the side frames, aligning them with the pre-drilled holes. Insert screws and partially tighten.
- Final Tightening: Once all rungs are in place, gradually tighten all screws evenly until secure. Avoid over-tightening.
- Insert Wood Plugs: Cover exposed screw heads with the provided wood plugs for a finished appearance. Note that once inserted, these plugs may be difficult to remove without damaging the finish.
Assembly Tip: Some users have reported that screw holes may not align perfectly or may be slightly small. If you encounter difficulty, ensure components are correctly oriented and apply gentle, even pressure. Having a second person can greatly assist in holding parts steady during tightening.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the wood surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the rack with a dry, soft cloth to prevent buildup.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid placing the rack in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the wood to dry out, crack, or fade. Maintain a stable humidity level to prevent warping.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rack is wobbly after assembly. | Screws are not fully tightened or unevenly tightened. | Ensure all screws are tightened securely and evenly. If necessary, loosen all screws slightly, gently rock the rack to settle, then retighten. |
| Difficulty inserting screws during assembly. | Holes may be slightly misaligned or too small. | Verify correct orientation of parts. Apply firm, steady pressure while turning the screw. If persistent, ensure the Allen wrench is fully engaged. (Note: Do not attempt to modify the product by drilling holes larger, as this may void warranty). |
| Scratches or damage to the finish. | Assembly on a rough surface or impact during use. | Always assemble on a soft, protected surface. Handle with care during relocation. Minor scratches may be touched up with a wood repair marker matching the walnut finish. |
