Assembly Instructions

Assembly is straightforward and typically takes about 20-30 minutes. Tools are provided. Follow the included assembly instructions carefully.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Verify all components listed in the "Components" section are present.
2. Assemble the Frame: Connect the vertical frame pieces according to the instructions. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Attach Shoe Tiers: Secure each of the 6 shoe tiers to the main frame. The tiers are designed to hold shoes at an angle for easy access. Ensure screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.
4. Install Over-the-Door Brackets: Attach the over-the-door brackets to the top of the assembled frame. These brackets are designed to fit over most standard interior doors (approximately 1.5 inches deep).
5. Apply Non-Slip Pads: Place the non-slip door pads on the lower contact points of the organizer where it meets the door. This prevents movement and protects the door surface.
6. Optional Wall Mounting: If you prefer wall mounting, use the provided brackets and appropriate hardware for your wall type. Ensure the rack is securely fastened to wall studs for stability.
7. Final Check: Once assembled, gently shake the unit to ensure all connections are stable and secure before placing shoes on it.

Safety Note:

• Always follow the assembly instructions provided.
• Do not overload the rack with more than 36 pairs of shoes.
• Ensure the rack is securely mounted to the door and the non-slip pads are properly attached to prevent slippage and potential injury.
• Always supervise children when using the shoe rack.

Operating Instructions

Using your Whitmor shoe organizer is simple:

• Place one pair of shoes on each tier, with the toe facing outwards for easy visibility and access.
• The angled design of the tiers helps keep shoes securely in place.
• The rack can hold up to 18 pairs of shoes. Distribute weight evenly across the tiers.
• Ensure the door closes properly after installation. If the door does not close smoothly, check for proper alignment of the rack and ensure the non-slip pads are correctly positioned.

Maintenance

To keep your shoe organizer in optimal condition:

• Wipe down the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth as needed to remove dust and dirt.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
• Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Ensure the non-slip pads are intact and providing adequate protection to your door. Replace if worn.

Troubleshooting

• Rack is unstable or wobbly:
  • Ensure all screws are fully tightened.
  • Verify the over-the-door brackets are seated correctly and the non-slip pads are making firm contact with the door.
  • If wall-mounted, ensure it is securely fastened to wall studs for stability.
• Door does not close properly:
  • Check that the over-the-door brackets are not interfering with the door frame.
  • Ensure the rack is centered and not catching on the door jamb.
  • The product is designed for most residential interior doors (1.5 inches deep). If your door is thicker, it may not close completely.
• Shoes do not fit well on tiers:
  • The rack accommodates many shoe styles and heights. For larger shoes (e.g., men's size 12 or larger), you may need to place them toe-side in or adjust their position.
  • Taller items like boots may not fit upright on every tier due to spacing.
• Missing parts or damaged components:
  • Contact Whitmor customer support for assistance.
