• Put on the provided gloves to protect your hands.

3.2. Assembling the Frame

1. Attach the rubber foot pads to the bottom of the upright posts.
2. Connect two short horizontal beams to two upright posts at the desired height for the bottom shelf. Ensure the tabs on the beams align with the slots on the posts. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap them into place until secure.
3. Repeat step 2 for the other side, creating two rectangular frames.
4. Connect these two frames using the long horizontal beams. This forms the base of the shelving unit. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5. Continue adding horizontal beams for the remaining shelves at your desired intervals. The shelves are adjustable in 1.5-inch increments.

3.3. Installing MDF Boards

1. Once the frame is fully assembled, carefully place the MDF boards onto the horizontal beams for each shelf. Ensure they sit flush and are stable.

3.4. Configuration Options

The unit can be assembled as a single tall 5-tier shelf or reconfigured into two shorter units (e.g., a 3-tier and a 2-tier workbench style) using the provided connectors for the upright posts.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your shelving unit.

• Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections to ensure they remain secure. If any beams feel loose, gently tap them back into place with a rubber mallet.
• Stability: Ensure the unit remains on a level surface. If the unit becomes wobbly, check the foot pads and connections.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your shelving unit, refer to the following common solutions:

• Unit is wobbly: Ensure all horizontal beams are fully seated in the upright post slots. Use a rubber mallet to secure any loose connections. Verify the unit is on a flat, level surface.
• Difficulty assembling components: Ensure the tabs on the beams are correctly aligned with the slots on the posts. Apply firm, even pressure and use a rubber mallet to tap components into place. Do not force parts.
• MDF boards do not fit: Ensure the frame is correctly assembled and square. The boards should sit flush within the frame.
