Setup and Assembly
The Omega Garment Rack is designed for easy, tool-free assembly. Follow these steps carefully:
Components List:
- (4) Vertical Posts
- (2) Wire Shelves
- (1) Garment Rod
- (2) Garment Rod Brackets
- (8) Pairs of Plastic Sleeves (for shelves)
- (4) Leveling Feet
- (2) Screws and Washers (for garment rod brackets)

Step 2: Install Bottom Shelf. On each of the four vertical posts, snap two halves of a plastic sleeve together around the post at the desired height for the bottom shelf. Ensure the arrow on the sleeve points upwards. Slide the bottom wire shelf down over the posts until it rests firmly on the plastic sleeves. Press down on each corner of the shelf to ensure it is fully seated.

Step 4: Attach Garment Rod. Position the garment rod brackets on the underside of the top shelf, aligning them with the pre-drilled holes. Secure the brackets to the shelf using the provided screws and washers. Once the brackets are attached, insert the garment rod into the designated slots on the brackets. The garment rod is designed to hold up to 100 lbs of clothing.

Step 5: Attach Side Hook Accessory (Optional). If desired, attach the side hook accessory to one of the vertical posts at a convenient height for hanging smaller items like bags or scarves.
Once assembled, ensure the rack is stable. If it wobbles, adjust the leveling feet until stability is achieved.
Operating Instructions
Your Omega Garment Rack is designed for efficient and versatile storage. Here's how to maximize its utility:
- Clothing Storage: Hang garments on the rod using hangers. The rod supports up to 100 lbs, suitable for heavy jackets and multiple items.
- Shelf Utilization: The two wire shelves provide ample space. The top shelf is ideal for stacking folded clothes, shoe boxes, or storage bins. The bottom shelf is perfect for boots, purses, laundry baskets, or additional storage. Each shelf can support up to 600 lbs.
- Adjustable Height: The shelves are fully adjustable in 1-inch increments along the vertical posts, allowing you to customize the spacing to fit your specific storage needs. To adjust, remove items from the shelf, lift the shelf, reposition the plastic sleeves, and then lower the shelf onto the new position.
- Ventilation: The open wire design promotes maximum air ventilation, keeping your clothing and stored items fresh.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Omega Garment Rack, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all connections, especially the plastic sleeves and leveling feet, to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten or re-seat components as necessary.
- Relocation: If moving the rack, empty it of all contents first. For long-distance moves or storage, disassembly is recommended to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rack is wobbly or unstable. | Uneven floor surface; loose leveling feet; shelves not fully seated. | Adjust the leveling feet until the rack is stable. Ensure all shelves are pressed down firmly onto the plastic sleeves. |
| Shelf slides down after assembly. | Plastic sleeves not properly snapped together or not fully seated in the shelf collar. | Remove the shelf, ensure the two halves of the plastic sleeve are securely snapped around the post, and then firmly press the shelf down onto the sleeves until it locks into place. |
| Components do not fit together. | Incorrect orientation of parts; mismatched components (unlikely for new product). | Review the assembly steps and component list. Ensure parts are oriented correctly (e.g., plastic sleeves with arrows pointing up). If issues persist, contact customer support. |
| Garment rod sags. | Overloaded rod; brackets not securely fastened. | Reduce the weight on the garment rod (maximum 100 lbs). Ensure the garment rod brackets are tightly screwed to the top shelf. |
