- Do not overload the shelf. Refer to the specifications section for maximum weight capacity.
- Keep small parts and packaging materials away from children to prevent choking hazards.

5. Setup (Assembly)
The Bravo Wall Shelf requires assembly. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify Parts: Refer to the included diagram (if any, or use Image 3.1) to identify each section of the shelf.
- Connect Sections: Align the pre-drilled holes of the shelf sections. Use the provided screws to securely fasten the sections together. Ensure all connections are tight but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the material.
- Verify Stability: Once assembled, gently shake the shelf to ensure it is stable and all connections are firm.
Note: Assembly may require a screwdriver (not included).
6. Installation (Mounting)
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and stability of your wall shelf. We recommend having two people for installation.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, considering aesthetics and structural integrity. Avoid areas with electrical wires or plumbing behind the wall.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the assembled shelf against the wall at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the positions for drilling through the pre-drilled mounting holes on the shelf. Use a level to ensure the marks are perfectly horizontal.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type, drill holes at the marked positions. The depth and diameter of the holes should match the provided wall anchors.
- Insert Wall Anchors: Insert the wall anchors into the drilled holes. Tap them gently with a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Mount Shelf: Align the shelf's mounting holes with the installed wall anchors. Insert the provided screws through the shelf and into the anchors. Tighten the screws securely until the shelf is firmly attached to the wall. Do not overtighten.
- Test Stability: Gently pull on the shelf to ensure it is securely mounted and does not wobble.

Note: Always use appropriate safety gear, such as eye protection, when drilling. If unsure about wall types or mounting procedures, consult a professional.
7. Usage
The Bravo Wall Shelf is designed for displaying and storing various items such as books, decorative objects, small plants, and other household items. To maximize its utility and lifespan:
- Distribute weight evenly across the shelf surface.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity specified in the Specifications section.
- Avoid placing hot or wet items directly on the melamine surface without protection to prevent damage.
- Keep sharp objects away from the surface to prevent scratches.
8. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Bravo Wall Shelf:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Check Fittings: Periodically check all screws and mounting hardware to ensure they are still tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Environmental Conditions: Protect the shelf from extreme temperature changes and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Bravo Wall Shelf, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shelf feels wobbly after installation. | Loose mounting screws or improper wall anchors. | Ensure all mounting screws are tightened. Verify that appropriate wall anchors were used for your wall type. If necessary, remove, use stronger anchors, and re-mount. |
| Shelf is not level. | Mounting holes were not marked level. | Remove the shelf, re-mark the drilling points using a spirit level, and re-install. |
