3. Setup and Assembly

This shelving unit is designed for quick and easy assembly without the need for tools.

Parts List

Before beginning assembly, ensure all parts are present:

• Wire Shelves (3)
• Bottom Poles (4)
• Top Poles (4)
• Plastic Sleeves/Clips (enough for 3 shelves x 4 poles x 2 clips per pole = 24 clips)
• Leveling Feet (4)

Assembly Instructions

1. Attach Leveling Feet: Screw the leveling feet into the bottom of each of the four bottom poles.
2. Assemble Bottom Poles: Insert the top of the bottom poles into the bottom of the top poles to create four full-length poles. Ensure they are securely connected.
3. Attach Plastic Sleeves: Snap the two-part plastic sleeves around each pole at the desired height for the bottom shelf. Ensure the arrows on the sleeves point upwards and they click securely into place around the grooves on the poles. Repeat for all four poles at the same height.
4. Place Bottom Shelf: Slide the first wire shelf down over the poles until it rests firmly on the plastic sleeves. Press down firmly on each corner of the shelf to ensure it is fully seated.
5. Attach Remaining Shelves: Repeat step 3 and 4 for the remaining two shelves, adjusting the height as desired. Remember to snap the plastic sleeves at the same height on all four poles for each shelf.
6. Final Check: Once all shelves are in place, gently rock the unit to ensure stability. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary to eliminate any wobbling.

4. Operating and Usage Guidelines

Proper use of your shelving unit will ensure its longevity and your safety.

• Weight Distribution: Always distribute weight evenly across the shelves. Avoid concentrating heavy items in one small area.
• Placement: Place the shelving unit against a wall or in a corner for added stability, especially if it will hold heavy items.
• Adjusting Shelf Height: To adjust a shelf, first remove all items from it. Then, lift the shelf off the plastic sleeves, remove the sleeves, reposition them at the new desired height, and re-seat the shelf.
• Versatile Use: This unit is ideal for organizing items in various settings.

5. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance will help keep your shelving unit in excellent condition.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the shelves and poles with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Dry thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots or rust.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections and leveling feet to ensure they remain secure. Tighten if necessary.
• Environment: Store the unit in a dry environment. While the chrome finish offers some protection, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust.
