4. Setup and Assembly

The GENTINGBRO plant stand features an easy snap-together design. No additional tools are required beyond what is provided. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all wooden slats and plastic connectors. Refer to the included diagram to identify each piece (e.g., A, B, C, etc.).
2. Plan Your Configuration: The stand can be assembled in various layouts (e.g., tall vertical, tiered, or split into multiple smaller units). Choose the configuration that best suits your space. The instructions provide diagrams for different types.
3. Connect Base Sections: Begin by connecting the base wooden slats using the appropriate plastic connectors. Ensure the 'UP' arrows on the connectors are facing upwards.
4. Build Upwards: Gradually add vertical support slats and horizontal shelf slats, securing each connection with the plastic connectors. Use the provided rubber mallet to gently tap the pieces into place, ensuring a snug and stable fit.
5. Install Shelves: Place the pre-nailed wooden shelf sections onto the horizontal supports.
6. Add Hanging Feature: If using, attach the hanging basket rope to the designated top sections.
7. Final Check: Once fully assembled, gently shake the stand to ensure stability. Re-tap any loose connections with the mallet.

5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, your GENTINGBRO plant stand is ready for use. Consider the following:

• Plant Placement: Arrange your plants to ensure even weight distribution. Place heavier pots on lower or more central shelves for optimal stability.
• Sunlight: Position the stand in an area that provides adequate light for your plants. The open design allows for good light exposure.
• Hanging Plants: Utilize the unique hanging feature for trailing plants or hanging pots to create a dynamic display.
• Adjustable Feet: If your floor is uneven, the feet of the stand can be slightly adjusted by unscrewing them to achieve better balance.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Wood Care: The carbonized eucalyptus wood is naturally resistant to moisture. However, for extended longevity, especially when used outdoors, avoid leaving it exposed to standing water or extreme humidity for prolonged periods.
• Connection Check: Periodically inspect all plastic connectors to ensure they remain tightly secured. If any feel loose, gently re-tap them with the rubber mallet.

7. Troubleshooting

• Stand feels wobbly: Ensure all plastic connectors are fully inserted and secured. Use the rubber mallet to tap each joint firmly until stable. Check that the stand is on a level surface; adjust the feet if necessary.
• Difficulty inserting pieces: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for each step as indicated in the assembly diagram. Sometimes a firm, even push or a gentle tap with the mallet is needed to fully seat the connectors.
• Wood staining hands during assembly: This is normal due to the carbonized finish. Always wear the provided gloves or other protective gloves during assembly.
