4. Assembly Instructions
The boltless design allows for straightforward assembly. Two people are recommended for easier installation. A rubber mallet (not included) will be helpful.
- Prepare Components: Lay out all parts on a clean, flat surface. Wear the provided gloves to protect your hands.
- Assemble Vertical Posts: Connect the vertical posts using the fixed connection plates if assembling a taller unit. Ensure they are securely interlocked.
- Attach Beams: Connect the horizontal beams to the vertical posts. The beams feature tabs that slot into the post openings. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap them into place until fully seated.
- Form Shelf Levels: Repeat step 3 for all four sides of each shelf level. Ensure the beams are level and securely attached before proceeding.
- Insert MDF Boards: Once a shelf frame is complete, place an MDF board onto the assembled beams. Ensure it sits flush within the frame.
- Repeat for All Tiers: Continue assembling the remaining shelf tiers, adjusting the height of each tier as desired before inserting the MDF boards.
- Attach Footpads: Secure the anti-slip footpads to the bottom of the vertical posts.

The Yaheetech shelf unit offers flexible configuration options to suit your storage needs.
5.1 Adjustable Shelves
The five shelves are fully adjustable. You can customize the height of each shelf to accommodate items of various sizes. To adjust, simply detach the beams from the vertical posts, reposition them to the desired height, and re-secure them.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your shelf unit, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the painted finish and MDF boards.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections to ensure they remain secure. Re-tap any loose beams with a rubber mallet if necessary.
- Moisture: While the MDF boards are durable, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture should be avoided to prevent warping or damage.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shelf unit, consider the following:
- Unit Wobbles: Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface. Check that all beams are fully seated and securely locked into the vertical posts. Verify that the anti-slip footpads are correctly installed.
- Difficulty Assembling: If beams are hard to connect, ensure they are aligned correctly with the slots. A rubber mallet can assist in seating them firmly. Do not force components, as this may cause damage.
- Shelf Sagging: Ensure the weight on the shelf does not exceed the individual shelf capacity of 386 lb (175 kg). Distribute weight evenly across the shelf.
