Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your WALI floating shelf, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the shelf with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure it remains tight and secure. Retighten screws if necessary.
• Avoid Overloading: Always adhere to the maximum weight capacity of 22 lbs (10 kg) to prevent damage to the shelf or wall.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your WALI floating shelf, refer to the following common solutions:

• Shelf is not sturdy/wobbles:
  • Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened.
  • Verify that the shelf is mounted into appropriate wall studs or using correct anchors for your wall type. Drywall alone is not sufficient.
  • Check that the weight on the shelf does not exceed the 22 lbs (10 kg) limit.
• Difficulty with cable management:
  • Ensure cables are routed through the designated holes.
  • Use cable ties (not included) to bundle and secure excess cable length.
• Shelf appears uneven:
  • During installation, use a level to ensure the mounting plate is perfectly horizontal before securing.
  • If already installed, loosen mounting screws slightly, adjust with a level, and retighten.
