7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your wall shelf, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shelf feels wobbly or unstable | Loose assembly fasteners or inadequate wall mounting. | Ensure all internal assembly screws are tightened. Verify that the wall anchors and screws are appropriate for your wall type and securely installed. Re-tighten wall mounting screws. |
| Shelf is not level | Mounting holes were not marked level, or screws are not inserted evenly. | Remove the shelf, re-measure and re-mark the wall using a level. Adjust wall anchors/screws as needed to ensure a perfectly level installation. |
| Damage to shelf surface | Impact, abrasive cleaning, or liquid exposure. | For minor scratches, touch-up pens for wood furniture may be used. For liquid damage, ensure the surface is dry and clean. Prevent future damage by following maintenance guidelines. |
| Items slide off shelf | Shelf is not level or items are unstable. | Check if the shelf is level (see above). Ensure items placed on the shelf have a stable base and are not top-heavy. |
