Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly is designed to be straightforward. Follow these steps carefully. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
Figure 1: Product Dimensions. Each shelf is 23.6 inches wide and 16.5 inches deep. The overall height is 28.4 inches. Vertical clearance between bottom shelves is 7.25 inches, and 11 inches for the top rack.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to identify each piece.
- Attach Feet: Secure the floor protectors or feet to the bottom of the lowest support columns. Ensure they are tightened securely.
- Assemble First Tier: Place the bottom tempered glass shelf onto the attached feet/columns. Ensure the columns align with the pre-drilled holes in the glass.
- Add Support Columns: Screw the next set of support columns into the top of the first glass shelf, using the provided aluminum caps/connectors to secure them.
- Repeat for Subsequent Tiers: Continue adding glass shelves and support columns, working your way upwards. The shelf segments are interchangeable, allowing for customization of height combinations.
- Secure Top Shelf: Attach the final set of support columns and the top tempered glass shelf. Ensure all connections are tight and stable.
- Final Check: Gently shake the assembled stand to confirm stability. If any wobbling occurs, re-tighten all connections.

Operating Instructions
Your Mount-It! AV component media stand is designed to organize and display your audio and video equipment efficiently.
- Placement: Position the stand on a level, stable surface. Avoid placing it in high-traffic areas where it might be bumped.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute the weight of your components evenly across the shelves. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacities: 88 lbs for the top shelf, 33 lbs for each lower shelf.
- Cable Management: Utilize the open design for easy cable routing and management to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent cable strain.
- Airflow: The open architecture of the stand promotes constant airflow, which helps keep your electronic components cool and prevents overheating.
Figure 3: Maximum Ventilation. The open design ensures cooling airflow for your AV components.
Figure 4: Strong Glass Shelving. The top shelf supports up to 88 lbs, while the lower shelves each support up to 33 lbs.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your media stand:
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry, soft cloth. For glass surfaces, a glass cleaner can be used, applied to the cloth first, not directly to the glass. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Avoid Impact: Protect the glass shelves from sharp impacts to prevent chipping or shattering.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your media stand, refer to the following common solutions:
- Stand is Wobbly:
- Ensure all screws and connectors are fully tightened.
- Verify the stand is on a level surface. Adjust feet if applicable, or place shims under the base if needed.
- Parts Do Not Fit:
- Double-check the assembly steps and diagrams to ensure parts are oriented correctly.
- Do not force parts together. If a part seems incorrect, contact customer support.
- Scratches on Glass:
- Minor scratches may be polished with specialized glass scratch removal kits.
- To prevent future scratches, avoid dragging objects across the glass surface.
