FAQs
What is the maximum weight each shelf can hold?
Each shelf can hold a maximum static load of 1,102 lb (500 kg) when the weight is evenly distributed.
How long does assembly typically take?
Assembly is designed to be quick and typically takes about 20 minutes due to the boltless, interlocking system. A rubber mallet is recommended.
Can I adjust the height of the shelves?
Yes, the shelves are adjustable in 3.6 cm increments, allowing you to customize the spacing to fit your storage needs.
Is this unit suitable for outdoor use?
No, this unit is designed for indoor use only and is not suitable for highly humid environments. Exposure to moisture can damage the materials.
What materials are used in the construction?
The rack is constructed from a solid steel frame with reinforced Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) shelves.
Does it come with an anti-tip kit?
Yes, the unit includes an anti-tip kit to secure it to the wall for enhanced safety.
What are the overall dimensions of the rack?
The rack measures 23.6"D x 78.7"W x 72"H (60 x 200 x 183 cm).
Troubleshooting
Shelves seem unstable or wobbly after assembly.
Ensure all interlocking parts are fully seated and secured. A rubber mallet can help. Verify that the unit is on a level surface. Double-check that the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to the wall.
Difficulty interlocking frame pieces.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points. A rubber mallet can be used to gently tap pieces into place. If resistance is too high, re-check alignment.
MDF shelves appear warped or damaged.
This may occur if exposed to moisture or if weight is not evenly distributed. Remove items, allow shelves to dry completely in a low-humidity environment, and redistribute weight evenly. Avoid placing liquids directly on shelves without secondary containment.
Unit tips over easily.
This is a critical safety issue. Immediately secure the unit to the wall using the provided anti-tip kit. Ensure the kit is attached to a wall stud for maximum security.
