Safety Information

To prevent injury or damage to the product, observe the following safety guidelines:

• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 10 lbs (4.5 kg) per shelf.
• Ensure the shelves are securely mounted to a sturdy wall structure. Mounting into wall studs is highly recommended for optimal stability.
• Keep small children and pets away from the installation area during assembly.
• Avoid placing fragile or valuable items on the shelves until you have confirmed their stability.

Setup & Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your floating shelves:

1. Select Location: Choose a suitable wall location. For maximum stability, identify and mark wall stud locations. If studs are not available, use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type.
2. Mount Bracket: Position the metal mounting bracket on the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the screw hole locations.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit will depend on whether you are drilling into studs or using wall anchors.
4. Install Anchors (if needed): If not mounting into studs, insert the appropriate wall anchors into the pilot holes.
5. Secure Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure the bracket is firmly secured and level. The bracket features multiple screw holes and a slotted design to allow for minor adjustments during installation.
6. Slide Shelf onto Bracket: Carefully slide the floating shelf onto the support rods of the mounted bracket. Ensure the shelf is fully seated against the wall.
7. Final Securement: Locate the small screw holes on the underside of the shelf. Use the provided small screws to secure the shelf to the bracket's support rods. This step helps prevent the shelf from shifting.

Maintenance & Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your shelves:

• Wipe the shelves with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust.
• For spills or marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the laminated finish.
• The shelves feature a waterproof surface, making them suitable for areas with occasional moisture, but prolonged exposure to water should be avoided.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during or after installation, consider the following:

• Shelf Wobbles: Ensure the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the wall. If using wall anchors, verify they are appropriate for your wall type and installed correctly. Re-tighten the small screws on the underside of the shelf that connect it to the bracket rods.
• Difficulty Leveling: The bracket's slotted screw holes allow for minor horizontal adjustments. If significant vertical misalignment occurs, re-evaluate pilot hole placement and ensure the bracket is level before final tightening.
• Damaged Wall Anchors: If the provided wall anchors are not suitable for your wall material or break during installation, acquire higher-quality anchors from a hardware store that are appropriate for your specific wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, concrete).
