FAQs
Does this bookcase come fully assembled?
No, the bookcase arrives in a flat-packed box and requires assembly.
Is the wall anchor kit required for use?
While optional, we strongly recommend using the wall anchor kit to prevent accidental tipping and ensure maximum safety.
Can I paint the bookcase a different color?
The factory finish is designed for durability; however, if you choose to repaint, you would need to sand and prime the surface properly.
What is the maximum weight capacity per shelf?
It is recommended to distribute weight evenly and avoid overloading individual shelves to ensure the structural integrity of the unit.
Are the shelves adjustable?
The Dorel Ella 5 Shelf Bookcase features fixed, open shelves designed for stability and a consistent modern look.
Troubleshooting
The bookcase feels wobbly after assembly.
Verify that all screws and bolts are tightened completely. Ensure the unit is placed on a level floor surface.
The wall anchor doesn't reach the stud.
Use appropriate wall anchors for your specific wall type (e.g., drywall toggles for hollow walls or masonry anchors for concrete) if a stud cannot be located.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the Dorel Ella bookcase typically requires basic hand tools and should be performed on a flat, carpeted surface to prevent scratching the finish. Ensure all metal components are tightened securely during assembly to prevent wobbling. For long-term care, wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads as they may mar the black finish. Periodically check the wall anchor connections every few months to ensure they remain taut and firmly attached to the wall studs.
