Safety Information

Important Safety Warnings:

• Anti-Tipping Device: Always secure the bookshelf to the wall using the included anti-tipping hardware. This is crucial for stability and prevents accidental tipping, especially in households with children or pets.
• Weight Limits: Do not exceed the specified weight capacities. Each adjustable shelf supports up to 15 lbs (6.8 kg). The top surface (tabletop) supports up to 80 lbs (36.3 kg). Overloading can compromise stability and cause damage or injury.
• Assembly: Ensure all components are correctly assembled and tightened according to the instructions. Loose connections can lead to instability.
• Placement: Place the bookshelf on a flat, level, and stable surface to prevent wobbling or tipping.
• Children: Keep children away from the assembly area. Small parts can be a choking hazard. Do not allow children to climb on the bookshelf.

Operation

Adjustable Shelves

The upper section of the bookshelf features two adjustable shelves, allowing you to customize storage space for items of various heights. To adjust a shelf:

1. Remove all items from the shelf.
2. Carefully lift the shelf and remove the shelf pins from their current holes.
3. Insert the shelf pins into the desired new holes, ensuring they are level and fully seated.
4. Place the shelf back onto the pins.

Remember to distribute weight evenly on each shelf and adhere to the 15 lbs (6.8 kg) weight limit per shelf.

File Drawers

The lower section includes two spacious file drawers designed for organized storage. Each drawer is equipped with an internal hanging rod system intended to accommodate letter, legal, F4, and A4 size hanging files. To use the file drawers:

• Gently pull the drawer handle to open.
• Place hanging files onto the internal rods.
• Ensure drawers close smoothly and completely to keep contents dust-free.

Note: Some users have reported that the hanging rods may not be adjustable or suitable for all hanging file types. Please verify compatibility with your specific file folders upon receipt.
