Assembly Instructions
Assembly is straightforward and requires no tools. Follow these steps:
- Attach Leveling Feet: Screw the leveling feet into the bottom of the lower poles.
- Connect Poles: Insert the connectors into the top of the lower poles. Then, slide the upper poles onto the connectors to create four full-length vertical poles.
- Install Plastic Clips: Determine the desired height for your bottom shelf. Snap two plastic clips around each pole at the same height, ensuring they are securely locked into the grooves. The clips should be placed just below where the shelf will rest.
- Place First Shelf: Carefully slide the first wire shelf down over the poles until it rests firmly on the plastic clips. Ensure the shelf is level and all four corners are seated correctly.
- Add Subsequent Shelves: Repeat step 3 and 4 for the remaining four shelves, adjusting the height as desired.
- Install Top Caps: Place the plastic caps on top of the poles for a finished look.
- Apply Liners: Place the clear liners on each shelf to create a smooth, flat surface for smaller items.
- Adjust Leveling: Once assembled, adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the unit to ensure it stands stable and level on your floor.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Shelf Height
The shelves are adjustable in 1-inch increments, allowing you to customize the unit to fit various items. To adjust a shelf:
- Empty the shelf you wish to adjust.
- Lift the shelf slightly to relieve pressure on the plastic clips.
- Remove the plastic clips from the poles.
- Re-position the clips at the desired new height, ensuring they are at the same level on all four poles and securely snapped into the grooves.
- Lower the shelf onto the newly positioned clips.

Using Shelf Liners
The included clear liners provide a smooth, flat surface, preventing small items from falling through the wire gaps and making cleaning easier. Simply place one liner on each wire shelf after assembly.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the shelving unit with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately to prevent rust.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections and clips to ensure they remain secure.
- Weight Distribution: Always distribute weight evenly across the shelves to maintain stability and prevent warping.
Troubleshooting
- Problem: The shelving unit is wobbly or unstable.
- Solution: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat surface. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of each pole by rotating them until the unit is stable and level. Check that all plastic clips are securely snapped into the pole grooves and that shelves are fully seated.
- Problem: A shelf is not level.
- Solution: Remove items from the shelf. Check that the plastic clips on all four poles supporting that shelf are at the exact same height and securely locked into the grooves. Re-adjust if necessary.
- Problem: Small items fall through the wire gaps.
- Solution: Utilize the included clear shelf liners. These liners provide a solid surface to prevent small objects from falling through.
