5. Setup and Installation

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Pencil
• Measuring Tape
• Level
• Drill with appropriate drill bit for wall anchors
• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)

Installation Steps:

1. Determine Placement: Choose a suitable location on your wall. Consider the shelf's dimensions and the items you plan to place on it.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Hold one metal bracket against the wall at your desired height. Use a pencil to mark the positions for the screw holes. Repeat for the second bracket, ensuring it is level with the first and spaced correctly for the wood shelf.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill with an appropriate drill bit (typically slightly smaller than the wall anchor diameter), drill pilot holes at the marked points.
4. Insert Wall Anchors: Gently tap the plastic wall anchors into the pilot holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
5. Attach Brackets: Align the metal brackets with the installed wall anchors. Insert the screws through the bracket holes and tighten them into the wall anchors using a screwdriver until the brackets are securely fastened to the wall. Do not overtighten.
6. Place Wood Shelf: Carefully place the wood shelf onto the installed metal brackets. Ensure it sits securely and is stable.

6. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the mDesign Modern Wall Shelf is ready for use. Place items on the shelf, ensuring that the weight is distributed evenly to maintain stability. Avoid placing excessively heavy objects on the shelf to prevent damage to the shelf or the wall.

7. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the wood shelf with a soft, damp cloth. For the metal brackets, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws and brackets to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Avoid Moisture: While suitable for bathrooms, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture should be avoided to preserve the wood and metal finishes.

8. Troubleshooting

• Shelf is not level: Ensure that the pilot holes were drilled accurately and that the brackets are aligned correctly. Use a level during installation to prevent this issue. If already installed, carefully loosen screws, adjust, and retighten.
• Shelf feels unstable: Verify that the wall anchors are fully inserted and the screws are tightened securely into the anchors. Ensure the wall material is appropriate for the chosen mounting hardware.
• Damage to wall during installation: If the wall material crumbles or the anchor does not hold, you may need to use different anchors suitable for your specific wall type or choose a different mounting location.
