FAQs
Can these shelves be cut to size?
Yes, melamine boards can be cut using a fine-toothed saw, though you may need to apply matching edge tape to finish the cut side.
Are brackets included with this pack?
No, this pack contains only two melamine shelves. Brackets and mounting clips must be purchased separately.
Is this shelf waterproof?
The melamine coating is water-resistant, making it easy to clean, but it should not be exposed to standing water or high-humidity environments for prolonged periods.
What is the weight limit for the shelves?
The shelves support up to 10kg each, provided the weight is evenly distributed.
Can these be used as floating shelves?
Yes, if paired with appropriate floating shelf brackets that support the 16mm thickness.
Troubleshooting
The shelf sags in the middle.
Ensure the weight does not exceed 10kg and verify that the distance between supporting brackets is not too wide.
The shelf slides off the brackets.
Use anti-slip pads or ensure the shelf is physically screwed or clipped into the brackets using appropriate fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires basic tools depending on your chosen bracket system. First, ensure your wall brackets are level and securely anchored to wall studs. Place the melamine shelf on the brackets and secure them using the manufacturer-recommended screws or clips. Regarding compatibility, the 16mm thickness is standard for most shelf pins and adjustable track systems. For care, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild household detergent. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which could damage the melamine laminate surface.
