5. Setup & Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your floating shelves:

1. Prepare Your Tools: You will need a drill, drill bits appropriate for your wall anchors, a level, a measuring tape, a pencil, and a screwdriver. Remember to acquire suitable wall anchors and screws for your wall type.
2. Mark Mounting Position: Choose the desired location for your first shelf. Use a level and pencil to mark the horizontal line where the top of the mounting bracket will sit. Mark the positions for the screw holes on the wall, aligning them with the holes on the metal bracket.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Ensure the drill bit size matches the recommended size for your chosen wall anchors.
4. Insert Wall Anchors: Insert the appropriate wall anchors into the drilled holes. Ensure they are flush with the wall surface.
5. Mount the Bracket: Align the metal mounting bracket with the installed wall anchors and secure it to the wall using screws. Use a level to confirm the bracket is perfectly horizontal before tightening all screws.

• Placement: Avoid placing excessively heavy or fragile items near the edges of the shelf.
• Stability Check: Periodically check the stability of the shelves and the tightness of the mounting screws.

7. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your shelves:

• Cleaning: Wipe the shelves with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up any spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the MDF material.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the shelves to extreme humidity or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may affect the material and finish.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during or after installation, consider the following:

• Shelf Tilting/Not Holding Weight:
  • Ensure the correct wall anchors were used for your wall type and installed properly.
  • Verify that the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the wall and all screws are tightened.
  • Check that the shelf is fully seated onto the bracket.
  • Confirm that the weight on the shelf does not exceed the 22-pound limit.
• Difficulty Sliding Shelf onto Bracket:
  • Ensure the bracket is perfectly level and not twisted.
  • Check for any obstructions inside the shelf's cavity or on the bracket.
  • Apply gentle, even pressure when sliding the shelf. Do not force it, as this can damage the shelf or pull out anchors.
• Damaged Wall During Installation:
  • This often occurs if anchors are pulled out due to improper installation or excessive force. Ensure pilot holes are the correct size and anchors are suitable for the wall material.
  • If significant damage occurs, consult a professional for wall repair.
