Operating (Usage) Guidelines

The AMERLIFE 4-Tier Industrial Bookshelf is designed for displaying and storing books, decorative items, and other household goods in various settings such as bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms, or offices.

• Weight Capacity: Each individual shelf is designed to support a maximum weight of 100 lbs (45 kg). The total weight capacity for one complete bookshelf unit is 250 lbs (113 kg). Distribute weight evenly across shelves to maintain stability.
• Placement: Position the bookshelf on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it in areas with excessive moisture or direct sunlight to prevent material damage.
• Display and Storage: Utilize the four open tiers for organizing books, displaying collectibles, or storing various items.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the bookshelf surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Environmental Conditions: Protect the bookshelf from extreme temperature changes and humidity, which can affect the engineered wood.

Troubleshooting

• Wobbling Bookshelf: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Check that the bookshelf is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the feet to stabilize.
• Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon unboxing, please refer to the customer support section for assistance.
• Difficulty Assembling: Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are oriented correctly and screws are aligned with pre-drilled holes. Do not force components together.
