Safety Information

• Read all instructions: Before assembly and use, carefully read and understand all instructions in this manual.

Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the VINGLI 4-Tier Metal Storage Shelves is designed to be quick and tool-free. It is recommended that two people work together for easier and safer assembly.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out and compare them with the package contents list.
2. Attach Leveling Feet or Wheels: Decide whether you will use the leveling feet for stationary use or the caster wheels for mobility. Screw the chosen components into the bottom of the four vertical support posts. If using wheels, ensure the two locking wheels are on the same side for easier access.
3. Assemble Bottom Shelf: Locate the desired height for your bottom shelf. Snap the plastic clips onto the grooves of the vertical posts at the same height. Ensure the arrow on each clip points upwards. Slide the bottom wire shelf down over the posts until it rests securely on the plastic clips. Apply even pressure to all four corners until the shelf is firmly seated.
4. Assemble Remaining Shelves: Repeat step 3 for the remaining three shelves, adjusting their heights as desired. Ensure all clips are at the same level on each post before placing a shelf.
5. Final Check: Once all shelves are in place, gently push down on each corner of every shelf to ensure they are fully seated and stable.
6. Wall Anchoring (Optional): If using the wall-fixing kit, follow the instructions provided with the kit to secure the shelving unit to a wall for enhanced stability.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Shelf Height

The VINGLI shelving unit allows for flexible shelf height adjustment to accommodate items of various sizes. To adjust a shelf:

1. Empty the Shelf: Remove all items from the shelf you wish to adjust.
2. Remove Shelf: Lift the shelf upwards to detach it from the plastic clips.
3. Relocate Clips: Remove the plastic clips from the posts. Re-attach them to the desired new height, ensuring they are all at the same level on each post and the arrows point upwards.
4. Re-attach Shelf: Carefully lower the shelf onto the new set of plastic clips, pressing down firmly on all corners until it is securely seated.

Using Leveling Feet vs. Caster Wheels

Your VINGLI shelving unit comes with both leveling feet and caster wheels, offering flexibility in how you use it.

• Leveling Feet: For stationary use, the leveling feet provide maximum stability and weight capacity (up to 799 lbs). Adjust each foot individually to ensure the unit is level on uneven surfaces.
• Caster Wheels: For mobility, the caster wheels allow you to easily move the unit. The weight capacity is reduced to 399 lbs when using wheels and the unit is not in motion. Engage the locking brakes on the two wheels when the unit is in its desired position to prevent unintended movement.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the shelves and posts with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the anti-rust powder coating. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections, especially the plastic clips, to ensure they are secure. Inspect the posts and shelves for any signs of damage, rust, or bending.
• Wheel Maintenance (if applicable): If using caster wheels, check them occasionally for debris or hair that might impede movement. Clean as necessary.
