Safety Information

• Weight Limit: Do not exceed 10 lbs (approximately 4.5 kg) per shelf. Overloading can cause the shelf to detach from the wall, leading to damage or injury.
• Proper Mounting: Ensure proper wall mounting to avoid tipping or detachment. Use appropriate tools and follow all installation steps carefully.
• Material Considerations: These shelves are crafted from MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard). Avoid placing them in excessively wet environments, as MDF can swell and degrade when exposed to moisture.
• Adult Assembly: This product is intended for adult assembly. Keep small parts away from children during installation.

Setup and Installation

The following tools are recommended for installation:

• Hammer
• Drill
• 1/4-inch Drill Bit
• Screw Bit (compatible with provided screws)
• Small Level

Installation Steps:

1. Determine Placement: Choose the desired location for your shelves. Measure from the ceiling or floor to ensure consistent height for both sides of the corner.
2. Mark Screw Holes: Hold one shelf board flat against the wall in the desired position. Ensure the screw slots on the back of the shelf are facing the wall. Mark the center of the three screw slots on the wall. Repeat this process for the adjacent wall for the other side of the shelf.
3. Drill Holes: Using a drill with a 1/4-inch drill bit, carefully drill holes at the marked locations.
4. Insert Wall Anchors: Take the wall anchors (tubes), flatten them slightly, and gently wiggle them into the drilled holes until they are flush with the wall surface. A hammer can be used to gently tap them in, ensuring they do not collapse.
5. Install Screws: Insert the screws into the wall anchors. Screw them in until approximately 1/4 inch of the screw head is protruding from the wall. You should see about two threads exposed.
6. Mount Shelf: Align the screw slots on the back of the shelf board with the protruding screws. Slide the shelf down onto the screws until it is securely seated. If the shelf is slightly off-level, a small amount of pressure can sometimes adjust the screw position in drywall.
7. Check Level: Use a small level to ensure the installed shelf is horizontal. Adjust if necessary.

Operating (Usage)

Once installed, your WELLAND 7-Inch Floating Corner Shelves are ready for use. These shelves are designed for displaying lightweight decorative items, small plants, photo frames, or toiletries. Remember to adhere to the maximum weight capacity of 10 lbs per shelf to ensure stability and safety.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your WELLAND Floating Corner Shelves, simply wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or wet cloths, as moisture can damage the MDF material and laminated finish.

Troubleshooting

• Shelf is not level: If the shelf appears slightly unlevel after installation, gently adjust its position on the screws. For significant leveling issues, you may need to re-mark and re-drill the holes, ensuring accuracy with a level.
• Shelf feels loose: Ensure the screws are adequately tightened into the wall anchors and that the shelf is fully seated onto the screw heads. If the anchors feel loose in the wall, they may not have been installed correctly, or the wall material may be too soft. Consider using different anchors suitable for your wall type if issues persist.
• Damage to shelf: Avoid impacts or excessive force on the shelves. If the MDF material is exposed to moisture, it may swell. Address spills immediately by wiping with a dry cloth.
