7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shelving unit, consider the following:
- Wobbling/Instability: Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface. Adjust the non-slip leveling feet if necessary. Verify that all horizontal beams are fully seated and secured into the vertical posts. Confirm the unit is secured to the wall using the wall-mounting kit.
- Difficulty Assembling: Ensure you are aligning the tabs and slots correctly. Use the rubber hammer to gently tap components into place. Refer to the assembly diagrams in the included manual.
- Shelf Sagging: Ensure the weight on the shelf does not exceed 316 lbs and is evenly distributed. Check that the support rods underneath the MDF boards are correctly positioned.
