- Reinsert the support pegs into the desired set of holes, ensuring they are level.
- Place the shelf back onto the pegs.
Using Glass Doors
The glass-panelled doors provide visibility and easy access to stored items. Ensure doors are closed gently to prevent damage. If doors are misaligned, refer to the hinge adjustment instructions in the assembly section.
