Operating Instructions
The Sauder Orchard Hills Library is designed for versatile storage. It features three adjustable shelves in the upper section, allowing you to customize the spacing to accommodate items of various heights. The lower section provides hidden storage behind two raised panel doors, ideal for concealing items you prefer not to display. The enclosed back panel includes a cutout for cord access, useful if placing electronic devices within the unit.
Adjusting Shelves:
To adjust the shelves, remove any items from the shelf. Locate the shelf pins on the side panels. Remove the pins from their current holes and reinsert them into the desired holes at the new height. Carefully place the shelf onto the pins, ensuring it is level and secure before placing items back on it.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues that may arise during or after assembly.
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Gaps in Shelves or Panels: If you notice gaps, particularly with side trims, it is possible they were installed backwards. Unscrew and reattach them in the correct forward orientation.
- Doors Not Fitting Perfectly: The two lower doors may require patience and careful adjustment during installation to ensure they align and close properly. Make small adjustments until the desired fit is achieved.
- Damage from Overtightening: The material is dense engineered wood. Avoid using power tools and do not overtighten screws, as this can strip the material or cause cracking.
- Moving the Unit: Due to the nature of the composite board material, this furniture piece is not designed for frequent relocation. If moving is necessary, do so with extreme care to prevent structural damage.
