Operating Instructions
The Billy/OXBERG bookshelf is designed for ease of use and adaptability.
- Adjustable Shelves: The shelves can be moved to different heights to accommodate items of various sizes. To adjust, remove the shelf, reposition the shelf supports to the desired holes, and then place the shelf back on the supports.

- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaner can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth.
