1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all shelves and support legs from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present. The support legs are typically packed underneath the shelves.
2. First Layer Assembly: Place the bottom-most shelf on a flat, stable surface. Insert four support legs into the designated slots on the underside of this platform. Ensure they snap securely into place.
3. Add Subsequent Shelves: Take the next shelf and align its corner holes with the top ends of the installed support legs. Press down firmly until the shelf clicks into place, creating a secure connection.
4. Repeat for Remaining Shelves: Continue adding support legs and shelves in the same manner until all four tiers are assembled.
