2. Important Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Do not install the shelf in high traffic areas where it may obstruct pathways or be easily knocked over.
• Always ensure the shelf is securely mounted to the wall if utilizing the wall mount feature. Use appropriate hardware for your wall type.
• Do not overload the shelves. Distribute weight evenly and adhere to the maximum weight capacity.
• Exercise caution when folding and unfolding the shelf to prevent pinching or other injuries.
• Keep the shelf dry. Bamboo can become slippery when wet, and prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the material.

3. Product Components

The Bamboo Natural 3 Tier Shelf typically arrives as a single unit, largely pre-assembled in a folded state. The package includes:

• 1 x Bamboo Natural 3 Tier Shelf Unit
• Hardware (for optional wall mounting)

4. Setup and Assembly

The Bamboo Natural 3 Tier Shelf is designed for minimal assembly, often arriving in a folded configuration for easy setup.

4.1 Unfolding the Shelf

1. Carefully remove the shelf unit from its packaging.
2. Place the folded shelf on a flat, stable surface.
3. Gently unfold the side panels outwards until the shelves lay flat and the unit forms a stable, upright structure. Ensure all locking mechanisms (if present) are engaged.
4. Verify that the shelf is stable and does not wobble before placing any items on it.

4.2 Optional Wall Mounting

For enhanced stability and safety, especially in homes with children or pets, wall mounting is recommended. Hardware is included for this purpose.

1. Identify a suitable wall location, ensuring it is free from electrical wires or plumbing.
2. Mark the desired drilling points on the wall, aligning them with the mounting points on the shelf's frame.
3. Drill pilot holes using an appropriate drill bit size for the included hardware and your wall material (e.g., drywall anchors, wood screws).
4. Secure the shelf to the wall using the provided hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.

5. Operating and Usage

Once assembled and placed, the Bamboo Natural 3 Tier Shelf is ready for use.

• Placement: Position the shelf in your desired location, such as a bathroom, living room, or bedroom. Ensure it is on a flat, stable surface.
• Loading: Place items evenly across the three shelves. Avoid concentrating heavy items on a single spot or shelf.
• Folding for Storage: To fold the shelf for storage or transport, carefully reverse the unfolding process. Ensure all items are removed from the shelves before folding.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your bamboo shelf.

• Cleaning: Wipe the shelf with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the bamboo is dried immediately afterward.
• Moisture: Avoid prolonged exposure to water or high humidity, as this can cause the bamboo to warp, crack, or develop mold. If used in a bathroom, ensure good ventilation.
• Sunlight: Direct sunlight over extended periods may cause the bamboo's color to fade.
• Inspection: Periodically check all joints and connections to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose hardware as needed.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Bamboo Natural 3 Tier Shelf, consider the following:

• Wobbling Shelf:
  • Ensure the shelf is placed on a completely flat and level surface.
  • Check that all folding mechanisms are fully engaged and locked into place.
  • If wall-mounted, verify that the mounting hardware is securely fastened and the shelf is flush against the wall.
  • Inspect the bamboo frame for any visible damage or unevenness.
• Difficulty Folding/Unfolding:
  • Ensure no items are on the shelves.
  • Check for any obstructions or debris in the folding joints.
  • Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force the mechanism.
• Damage to Bamboo:
  • Small cracks or splits can occur naturally in bamboo. Monitor them to ensure they do not compromise structural integrity.
  • Avoid dropping the shelf or subjecting it to heavy impacts.
