- Assemble Lower Poles: Connect the upper and lower support poles by screwing them together. The poles have threaded ends for this purpose.
- Install Shelf Clips: Determine the desired height for your first shelf. Snap the two halves of a plastic shelf clip around each pole at the same height, ensuring the arrow on the clip points upwards. Repeat for all four poles for the first shelf.

- Place First Shelf: Slide the first wire shelf down over the poles until it rests firmly on the installed shelf clips. Gently tap the shelf corners with a rubber mallet (not included) to ensure it is fully seated and level.
- Install Wine Rack Shelves: For the wine storage section, install the specialized wine rack shelves using the same shelf clip method. Ensure the wine bottle cradles are facing upwards.

Operating Instructions
- Shelf Adjustment: To adjust shelf height, remove all items from the shelf. Lift the shelf off the clips, remove the clips, reposition them at the desired height, and then re-seat the shelf.
- Weight Distribution: For optimal stability and to prevent tipping, distribute heavy items on lower shelves and lighter items on upper shelves.
- Wine Storage: The specialized wine rack shelves are designed to hold standard wine bottles horizontally, keeping corks moist.
- Work Surface: The wooden top provides a durable and convenient work surface for kitchen tasks.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Wooden Top Care: Clean the wooden top with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a wood-safe cleaner. Periodically condition the wood with a food-safe mineral oil to maintain its appearance and prevent drying.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the unit for any loose connections or signs of wear. Tighten any loose parts immediately.
Troubleshooting
- Unit is Unstable/Wobbly: Ensure all shelf clips are securely snapped onto the poles at the same height for each shelf. Adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of the poles to compensate for uneven flooring.
- Shelf Not Sitting Level: Check that all four shelf clips for that particular shelf are at the exact same height marking on the poles. Ensure the shelf is fully seated onto the clips.
- Difficulty Assembling Poles: Ensure the threaded ends are aligned correctly before twisting. Do not force connections.
