1. Product Overview
The Livarno Home 5-Tier Shelf is a robust and easy-to-assemble plastic shelving unit designed for versatile storage. It is ideal for organizing spaces such as utility rooms, basements, or garages. Its durable polypropylene construction ensures easy cleaning and long-lasting use.
This shelving unit features five spacious shelves, each capable of holding up to 50 kg, providing ample storage capacity for various items. For enhanced stability and safety, the unit includes a device for wall mounting (wall plugs and screws are not included).
2. Safety Instructions
- Do not overload: Ensure that the maximum load capacity of 50 kg per shelf is not exceeded. Overloading can cause the shelf to collapse, leading to injury or damage.
- Secure to wall: For optimal stability and to prevent tipping, especially in households with children or in areas prone to seismic activity, it is highly recommended to secure the shelving unit to a wall using the provided wall-fixing device. Wall plugs and screws suitable for your wall type must be purchased separately.
- Even weight distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the shelves. Avoid placing heavy items only on one side.
- Assembly: Assemble the unit on a flat, stable surface. Ensure all components are securely connected before use.
- Children and pets: Keep children and pets away from the shelving unit during assembly. Do not allow children to climb on or play with the shelf.
- Placement: Place the shelving unit on a level, stable floor. Avoid placing it in high-traffic areas where it could be easily bumped.

4. Setup and Assembly
The Livarno Home 5-Tier Shelf is designed for easy and tool-free assembly. Follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
- Assemble Upright Poles: Connect the sections of the upright support poles by firmly pushing them together until they click into place. You will create four complete vertical poles.
- Attach First Shelf: Take one shelf panel. Align the holes on the corners of the shelf with the top ends of the four assembled upright poles. Push the shelf firmly down onto the poles until it is securely seated. This will form the base or the first level.
- Add Subsequent Shelves: Continue by adding the remaining shelf panels one by one. For each shelf, align it with the top of the existing upright poles and push down firmly. Ensure each shelf is level and securely connected before proceeding to the next.
- Final Check: Once all five shelves are attached, gently rock the assembled unit to ensure it is stable. All connections should feel secure.
- Wall Mounting (Recommended):
- Position the assembled shelf in its desired location.
- Mark the wall through the holes of the wall-fixing device.
- Drill holes in the wall at the marked positions.
- Insert appropriate wall plugs (not included) into the drilled holes.
- Secure the wall-fixing device to the wall using suitable screws (not included).
- Attach the shelving unit to the wall-fixing device.

5. Usage and Operation
The Livarno Home 5-Tier Shelf is designed for indoor use, specifically in utility rooms, basements, or garages. It provides a practical storage solution for various household items, tools, or supplies.
- Loading: Place items evenly on the shelves. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 50 kg per shelf.
- Stability: Always ensure the shelf is stable before placing items on it. If not wall-mounted, ensure it is placed on a flat, non-slip surface.
- Environment: While made of durable plastic, avoid exposing the shelf to extreme temperatures or direct, prolonged sunlight, which could affect its material integrity over time.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
The Livarno Home 5-Tier Shelf is made from polypropylene, making it very easy to clean and maintain.
- Cleaning: Wipe the shelves and frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic.
- Drying: Dry the unit thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections to ensure they remain secure. If the unit is wall-mounted, check the wall fixings for any signs of loosening.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shelf is wobbly or unstable. | Not all poles are fully inserted into the shelves; uneven floor; not wall-mounted. | Press down firmly on each shelf corner to ensure full insertion. Move to a level surface. Securely wall-mount the unit. |
| Shelf sags in the middle. | Overloaded shelf; weight not evenly distributed. | Reduce the weight on the shelf, ensuring it does not exceed 50 kg. Redistribute items evenly across the shelf. |
| Difficulty assembling poles/shelves. | Components not aligned correctly; insufficient force. | Ensure the holes are perfectly aligned before pushing. Apply firm, even pressure. A rubber mallet can be used gently if needed. |
