2. Important Safety Information

To ensure safe use of your HOOBRO bookshelf, please observe the following precautions:

• Anti-Tip Kit: It is mandatory to securely fasten the product to the wall using the provided anti-tip kit before use. This prevents accidental tipping, especially in households with children or pets.

• Placement: Place the bookshelf on a flat, level, and stable surface. Uneven surfaces can lead to instability.
