Operating Instructions
Adjustable Shelves
The HOSTACK bookcase features 8 adjustable shelves located on the left and right columns. These shelves can be repositioned to accommodate items of various heights, such as CDs, DVDs, books, or decorative objects.
- To Adjust: Carefully remove any items from the shelf. Lift the shelf slightly and pull it out from its current position. Reinsert the shelf into the desired set of pre-drilled holes, ensuring it is level and securely seated on all four pins.
- Customization: For taller items, shelves can be removed entirely. The 7-inch height setting is ideal for CDs/DVDs, while the 14.5-inch setting suits larger books.
