Setup and Assembly
This shelving unit is designed for tool-free assembly. Follow these steps carefully:
- Attach Leveling Feet: Screw the four leveling feet into the bottom of each shelf post. Tighten them securely.
- Mark Shelf Height: Determine the desired height for your first shelf. The posts have grooves at 1-inch intervals. Place a pair of shelf clips around each post at the desired height, ensuring the arrows on the clips point upwards and the clips snap together securely in a groove.
- Install First Shelf: Carefully slide one wire shelf down over the four posts, aligning the shelf collars with the installed shelf clips. Press down firmly on each corner of the shelf until it is securely seated over the clips. You may need to gently tap the shelf with a rubber mallet (not included) to ensure it is fully seated.
- Install Second Shelf: Repeat step 2 and 3 for the second shelf, positioning it at your desired height.
- Final Check: Once both shelves are installed, gently rock the unit to ensure stability. Adjust leveling feet if necessary to eliminate wobbling.

Operating Instructions
- Loading: Distribute weight evenly across each shelf. Avoid concentrating heavy items in one area.
- Capacity: Do not exceed the stated weight capacity of 800 lbs per shelf.
- Stability: For optimal stability, place heavier items on lower shelves.
- Adjusting Shelf Height: To adjust a shelf, remove all items from the shelf. Lift the shelf off the clips, remove the clips, reposition them at the new desired height, and then re-seat the shelf.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the shelving unit with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all shelf clips and leveling feet to ensure they are secure.
- Rust Prevention: While the unit has a durable finish, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture to prevent rust.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shelving unit is wobbly. | Uneven floor surface; leveling feet not adjusted; shelves not fully seated. | Adjust the leveling feet until the unit is stable. Ensure all shelves are pressed down firmly onto their clips. |
| Shelf does not sit level. | Shelf clips are not at the same height on all posts; clips not fully snapped into grooves. | Remove items from the shelf. Re-check and adjust the height of all four clips for that shelf, ensuring they are in the same groove number on each post. Ensure clips are fully snapped. |
| Difficulty installing a shelf. | Shelf clips not properly aligned or fully closed; posts are not perfectly vertical. | Ensure all clips are fully closed around the posts and aligned. Gently wiggle the shelf as you press down. Ensure posts are standing straight. |
