4. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps for a secure and effortless installation:

1. Remove the Support Bracket: Carefully remove the internal support bracket from the shelf. It is designed to fit snugly inside the shelf.
2. Locate Studs: Use a stud finder to locate wall studs where you intend to mount the shelf. Installation into studs is highly recommended for maximum weight capacity. If studs are not available, use appropriate wall anchors (included).
3. Attach the Support Bracket: Position the support bracket on the wall at your desired height. Use the provided screws to attach the bracket to the wall studs. Pre-drill screw holes in the support bracket where you intend to use screws. Ensure the support bracket is level before securing it completely. We recommend installing two screws into each stud.
4. Slide the Floating Shelf: Once the support bracket is securely mounted, carefully slide the floating shelf over the bracket. The shelf should fit snugly over the bracket, creating a seamless floating appearance.
5. Secure the Floating Shelf: For added security, pre-drill holes from the top of the shelf into the bracket, then secure the shelf to the bracket with screws.
