FAQs
Does the ladder come off the rail?
The ladder is designed to remain on the rail for safety and ease of use, though it can be removed during the initial assembly phase.
What is the weight capacity per shelf?
While capacity varies by shelf span, it is recommended to place heavier items on the lower, base-supported shelves.
Is this unit one solid piece?
No, it consists of three separate bookcase units that are secured together to form a continuous wall unit.
Can I install this on carpet?
Yes, but ensure the unit is anchored to the wall, as carpet can cause slight instability when the ladder is in use.
Does the unit arrive pre-assembled?
No, this product requires full assembly. We recommend setting aside several hours and having a helper assist you.
Is the ladder functional for kids?
The ladder is a functional piece of furniture and should only be operated by adults or under strict adult supervision.
Troubleshooting
The ladder does not slide smoothly along the rail.
Check that the floor is level and the rail is mounted perfectly parallel to the floor. Verify that all rail fasteners are fully tightened.
Doors are misaligned or do not close properly.
Adjust the hinges on the wooden and glass doors using the tension screws provided on the hinge plates to realign the door gap.
The unit feels unstable.
Ensure that the wall-mounting hardware is securely attached to a wall stud and that all unit-to-unit connectors are tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: Because this set consists of three bookcases and a ladder system, assembly should be done by at least two people. Ensure your floor is level before beginning; if the floor is uneven, the ladder rail may not align correctly, hindering smooth movement.
Compatibility: This unit is designed for indoor use. Ensure your wall surface is solid and capable of supporting the weight of the unit, and always utilize the provided wall-anchoring hardware to prevent tipping.
Care: Dust the shelves regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. For the glass doors, use a standard glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly on the glass to prevent streaks and protect the wood frame. Avoid abrasive chemicals that may yellow the white finish over time.
