2. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:

4.2 Assembly Steps

   • Determine the desired height and location for your shelves. Use a level and pencil to mark the mounting points on the wall.
   • Ensure the marked points are level and spaced correctly according to the shelf's mounting holes.

• These shelves are designed for indoor use only.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your drawer shelves.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the matte finish and MDF material.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the shelves with a dry, soft cloth.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all mounting screws and drawer runners to ensure they are tight and functioning correctly. Tighten any loose screws as needed.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your drawer shelves, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Shelf feels unstable after mounting:
  • Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened.
  • Verify that appropriate wall anchors were used for your wall type and that they are securely installed.
  • Check if the wall itself is structurally sound.
• Drawer is difficult to open or close:
  • Check for any items obstructing the drawer's path or caught in the runners.
  • Ensure the drawer is correctly seated on its runners.
  • Verify that the shelf unit itself is level and not warped, which could affect drawer movement.
• Scratches or damage on the surface:
  • Minor scratches may be touched up with a furniture repair pen matching the black matte finish.
