User Manual for 6-Piece Set of Wall-Mounted Floating Shelves

I. Product Overview

This 6-piece set of wall-mounted floating shelves combines practicality and aesthetic design. The shelves feature sturdy L-shaped metal brackets, with a load-bearing capacity of up to 40 pounds per shelf, ensuring stability and preventing shaking during long-term use. The shelves, made of natural wood and processed with a charcoal roasting technique, retain unique wood grains and a carbonized texture. They are not only environmentally friendly but also decorative, fitting well with a variety of home decor styles, including rustic, modern, and industrial.

II. Usage Guide

(I) First Use After Installation

1. After completing the installation, double-check that all screws are tightened and that the connections between the brackets and the wall, as well as between the shelves and the brackets, are secure.
2. It is recommended to place lightweight items first to test the stability and gradually increase the weight to avoid overloading at once.

(II) Daily Usage Specifications

1. Load-Bearing Management: The maximum load-bearing capacity of each individual shelf is 40 pounds. Do not stack heavy objects in a concentrated manner. It is advisable to place heavier items on the lower shelves to maintain a stable center of gravity.
2. Item Placement: Reasonably divide the storage areas according to different usage scenarios. For example, when placing toiletries in the bathroom, avoid direct contact between water-stained bottles and the wooden shelves. When storing spice jars in the kitchen, ensure they are well-sealed to prevent oil stains from seeping into the shelves.
3. Applicable Scenarios: The shelves can be used as bookshelves, plant stands, display racks for decorations, or cat activity platforms. However, do not use them as a support structure for climbing or hanging heavy objects (such as large mirrors).

III. Cleaning and Maintenance

(I) Daily Cleaning

1. Wipe the wooden shelves and metal brackets with a soft dry cloth every week to remove dust.
2. In case of stains, gently wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using cleaning agents containing alcohol or corrosive chemicals to prevent damage to the wood surface coating or corrosion of the metal brackets.

(II) Regular Maintenance

1. Monthly Inspection: Check whether the screws are loose and whether the brackets are rusted or deformed. If the screws are loose, tighten them with a screwdriver. For minor rust, remove it with a wire brush and apply anti-rust oil.
2. Annual Maintenance: Conduct an annual maintenance on the wooden shelves. You can apply special wood wax oil to enhance water and stain resistance and extend the service life.

(III) Handling for Long-Term Idleness

If the shelves are not to be used for an extended period, it is recommended:

1. Remove all items, wipe the shelves clean, and let them dry.
2. If necessary, disassemble the shelves, pack them properly, and store them to avoid squeezing and collisions. Wrap the metal parts with anti-rust paper to prevent oxidation.

IV. Safety Precautions

1. Usage Safety:

1. Overloading is strictly prohibited. Do not place items exceeding the load-bearing range on the shelves.
2. Prevent children from climbing or hanging on the shelves to avoid the risk of tipping.

2. Environmental Safety:

1. Do not install the shelves in damp, high-temperature areas (such as near stoves) or in direct sunlight to prevent accelerated deformation of the wood or corrosion of the metal.
2. If cracks or looseness occur on the wall, immediately remove the shelves and re-evaluate the installation location.

3. Emergency Handling:

In case of abnormal situations such as sudden tilting of the shelves or bracket breakage, do not attempt to handle it yourself. Stay away immediately and contact customer service for professional guidance.
