5. Setup (Installation)
Follow these steps for proper installation of your floating shelves. It is recommended to have a drill, screwdriver, and a level for accurate installation.
- Prepare the Wall: Choose a suitable location on your wall. Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing behind the drilling area.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold a metal hanging bracket against the wall at your desired height. Use a pencil to mark the positions for the drill holes. Use a level to ensure the marks are perfectly horizontal.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. For drywall, use a drill bit appropriate for the provided drywall anchors. For wood studs, drill smaller pilot holes.
- Install Anchors (if needed): If installing into drywall, screw the drywall anchors into the pilot holes until flush with the wall. If installing into wood studs, anchors are typically not required.
- Mount the Bracket: Align the metal hanging bracket with the installed anchors or pilot holes. Insert the screws through the bracket and tighten them securely into the anchors or studs. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached and level.
- Slide the Shelf: Carefully slide the shelf board onto the metal bracket rods. The shelf is designed to fit snugly over the invisible brackets.
- Secure the Shelf: Locate the small holes on the underside of the shelf board. Insert the provided set screws into these holes and tighten them to fix the shelf to the support rods of the bracket. This prevents the shelf from sliding or lifting.
- Repeat for Second Shelf: Follow the same steps to install the second shelf, ensuring proper spacing and alignment if installing them together.

7. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your floating shelves:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws and set screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
| Shelf is not level | Mounting bracket not installed level; wall surface uneven. | Ensure the bracket is perfectly level during installation using a spirit level. If the wall is uneven, shims may be needed behind the bracket. |
| Shelf feels wobbly or unstable | Screws or anchors not fully tightened; inappropriate wall anchors used; shelf not secured to bracket with set screws. | Tighten all mounting screws and set screws. Ensure appropriate wall anchors are used for your wall type (e.g., toggle bolts for drywall if studs are not available). Verify the shelf is fully pushed onto the bracket rods and secured with the set screws from underneath. |
| Shelf sags under weight | Exceeding weight limit; improper installation; weak wall structure. | Do not exceed the 30-pound weight limit per shelf. Re-check installation to ensure all screws are tight and anchors are secure. If possible, mount into wall studs for maximum support. |
