WARNING: Always ensure the shelf is securely mounted to the wall. Do not overload the shelf beyond its weight limit. Improperly supported or overloaded shelves may detach, posing a risk of personal injury or property damage.

• Use appropriate anchors and screws for your wall type.
• Distribute weight evenly on the shelf.
• Keep small children and pets away during installation.

4. Tools Required

The following tools are recommended for installation:

5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for secure wall mounting:

1. Step 1: Mark Placement. Hold the shelf against the wall at the desired height and position. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the mounting blocks. Ensure the shelf is level before marking.
2. Step 2: Install Mounting Blocks. Place the wood mounting blocks at the marked positions. Use a level to ensure they are perfectly horizontal. Mark the screw holes for the blocks. Drill pilot holes into the wall at these marks. Insert wall anchors if necessary (for drywall). Secure the wood blocks to the wall using the provided screws.
3. Step 3: Attach Shelf. The shelf features an L-shaped channel designed to fit over the installed wood blocks. Carefully align the shelf with the blocks and slide it down until it is securely seated.
4. Step 4: Final Securement (Optional but Recommended). For added stability, some users may choose to insert a small finish nail through the top of the shelf into each wood block, or use additional screws through the shelf into the blocks if pre-drilled holes are available. Ensure the shelf is firmly attached and does not wobble.

7. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your WELLAND floating shelf:

• Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the painted finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure it remains secure. Tighten any loose screws if necessary.

8. Troubleshooting

• Shelf feels loose after installation: Re-check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightened securely into the wall anchors and wood blocks. If mounting into drywall, consider using stronger anchors if the shelf is intended to hold heavier items.
• Shelf is not level: Remove the shelf and re-adjust the placement of the wood mounting blocks. Use a level during re-installation to ensure perfect horizontal alignment.
• Items slide on the shelf: The shelf features a transverse groove designed to help prevent items like photo frames from sliding. Ensure items are placed within this groove.
