Assembly Instructions

Assembly is required for this product. Each part is numbered for quick and easy identification. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly, especially during the final stages, due to the product's weight and size.

Step 1: Unpacking and Preparation

1. Carefully open the packaging and remove all components.
2. Lay out all wooden panels and hardware on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a blanket or the cardboard packaging) to prevent scratches.
3. Identify each part by its corresponding number as indicated in the assembly manual.

Step 2: Assembling the Side Panels and Shelves

1. Attach the cam bolts and dowels to the designated holes on the side panels.
2. Carefully align and insert the shelves into the side panels, ensuring the cam locks engage properly. Turn the cam locks clockwise to secure the connection.
3. Repeat this process for all sections of the shoe rack, building it section by section.

Step 3: Connecting Sections and Finalizing

1. Once individual sections are complete, connect them using the provided connectors and hardware.
2. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
3. Install the anti-tip safety kit by securing one end to the top rear of the shoe rack and the other end to a wall stud using appropriate wall anchors (not always included, check your specific hardware). This is crucial for stability.
4. Apply the included white stickers to cover any visible fasteners for a cleaner appearance.

Note on Assembly: Some users have reported that the instructions might lead to fasteners showing on the front if followed exactly. Pay close attention to the orientation of panels to ensure the finished side faces outwards and fasteners are concealed where possible.
