Assembly Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Wall
Choose the desired location for your shelves. Use a level and pencil to mark the positions for the mounting brackets. Ensure the marks are level and spaced correctly for your shelves.
Step 2: Install the Mounting Bracket
Hold the metal mounting bracket against the marked positions on the wall. Mark the drill holes. Drill pilot holes into the wall using an appropriate drill bit for your wall anchors. Insert the wall anchors (if required) and then secure the mounting bracket to the wall using screws. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached and level.

Step 3: Attach the Shelf
Carefully slide the floating shelf onto the installed metal bracket. The internal structure of the shelf is designed to fit snugly over the bracket, creating an invisible mounting effect. Apply gentle, even pressure until the shelf is fully seated and secure.

Maintenance
To clean your shelves, simply wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the high-gloss finish.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level or feels unstable:
- Check bracket installation: Ensure the mounting bracket was installed perfectly level and securely fastened to the wall. Uneven installation of the bracket will result in an uneven shelf.
- Verify wall anchors: Make sure the correct type and size of wall anchors were used for your specific wall material and that they are properly installed. Loose anchors can cause instability.
- Weight distribution: Ensure the weight on the shelf is evenly distributed and does not exceed the maximum capacity of 15.4 lbs (7 kg).
Difficulty sliding shelf onto bracket:
- Alignment: Ensure the shelf's internal channels are perfectly aligned with the bracket rods. Do not force the shelf, as this can damage the internal structure or the bracket.
- Obstructions: Check for any debris or manufacturing imperfections within the shelf's internal channels or on the bracket rods that might be preventing a smooth slide.
