Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Furinno bookshelf.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bookshelf, refer to these common solutions:

• Wobbling/Instability:
  • Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened.

  • Check that weight is distributed evenly, with heavier items on lower shelves.
• Difficulty during Assembly:
