4.1 Preparation

• Clear a spacious, flat, and clean area for assembly.
• Unpack all components and lay them out, checking against the package contents list.
• Identify the uprights, crossbars, corner connectors, and MDF shelves.

4.2 Assembly Steps

1. Assemble the Frame: Begin by connecting the uprights using the corner connectors and crossbars. The plug-in system allows components to slot together. Ensure each connection is firm.
2. Install Lower Shelves: Once the basic frame structure is stable, insert the first MDF shelf at the desired height. The shelves can be placed individually at any height. Ensure the reinforcing crossbars are correctly positioned under the MDF panels for support.
3. Continue Building Upwards: Continue adding upright sections and shelves, working your way up. The design allows for flexible height adjustment of each shelf.
4. Attach Rubber Feet: Once the frame is fully assembled and all shelves are in place, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the uprights. These protect your floor and provide additional grip.
5. Final Check: Before loading, gently shake the assembled shelf to ensure all connections are secure and the unit is stable.
