Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward but best performed with two people due to the size and weight of the panels. Ensure you have adequate floor space before starting. Use the provided metal-to-metal fixings to secure the structure, as these are critical for the bookcase's stability. For care, wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they may affect the finish over time. Periodically check that the shelf supports and feet remain tight, especially after moving the unit to a new location.
