Thank you for choosing Fun Memories Floating Shelves. These 55"x9.3" rustic solid live-edge elm wood wall shelves are designed to add both style and functionality to your living space.

2. Safety Information

Proper Installation: Ensure the shelf is securely mounted into wall studs for maximum stability and weight capacity. Failure to do so may result in the shelf detaching from the wall and causing injury or damage.

5. Setup & Installation

Tools Recommended: Drill, Pencil, Stud Finder (highly recommended), Measuring Tape.

Locate Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to locate and mark the positions of wall studs. The hidden Toro bracket is designed to align with standard 16" wall studs for optimal support.
Mark Drill Points: Hold the bracket against the wall at your desired height and use a pencil to mark the drill points through the bracket's holes. Ensure the bracket is level using the included magnetic level.
Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting into drywall without studs, use the provided self-tapping drywall anchors. For stud mounting, drill directly into the studs.
Attach Bracket: Securely attach the hidden Toro bracket to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly fastened and level.
Mount Shelf: Slide the elm wood shelf onto the rods of the installed bracket. The shelf should fit snugly against the wall, creating a seamless floating appearance.
Secure Shelf: Locate the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the shelf. Insert and tighten the set screws to secure the shelf to the bracket, preventing any movement.

7. Maintenance

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Fun Memories Floating Shelves, simply wipe them with a clean, dry cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the wood's natural finish.

8. Troubleshooting

Shelf Appears Loose or Sags:
- Ensure the hidden bracket is securely fastened to wall studs. Drywall anchors alone may not provide sufficient support for heavy loads.
- Verify that the set screws underneath the shelf are fully tightened to prevent movement.
- Check that the total weight on the shelf does not exceed 60 pounds.
Difficulty with Included Hardware:
- If the provided drywall anchors or screws do not seem suitable for your specific wall type or desired load, consider purchasing higher-grade hardware from a local hardware store. Always consult with a professional if unsure about installation.
