STEP-BY-STEP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Attach the Top Shelf
- Position both Side Frame Panels (②) upright and parallel to each other.
- Place the Top Shelf (①) between the two frames, aligning the pre-drilled holes on the shelf with the holes on the side frames.
- Insert 4 × M6×30 Bolts (A) – two on each side – into the holes from the outside of the frame.
- Use the provided Allen Key to tighten each bolt lightly (do not fully tighten yet; leave room for adjustment in later steps).
This completes the first assembly stage, securing the top shelf to the frame.
Step 2: Install the Middle Shelf
- Position the Middle Shelf (①) between the two Side Frame Panels (②), aligning the shelf’s pre-drilled holes with the holes on the frame.
- Insert 4 × M6×30 Bolts (A) – two on each side – through the frame into the shelf.
- Use the Allen Key to tighten the bolts lightly (do not fully tighten yet).
- Ensure the shelf sits level and correctly aligned before proceeding.
Step 3: Install the Bottom Shelf
- Position the Bottom Shelf (①) between the two Side Frame Panels (②).
- Align the pre-drilled holes on the shelf with the mounting holes on both sides of the frame.
- Insert 4 × M6×30 Bolts (A) – two on each side – through the frame and into the shelf.
- Use the Allen Key to tighten the bolts lightly (final tightening will be done after full alignment).
- Make sure the shelf sits level.
Step 4: Install the Levelling Feet
- Turn the entire unit upright, ensuring all three shelves (①) are properly aligned and stable.
- Take the 4 Levelling Feet (B) and insert one into the bottom of each frame leg.
- Screw each foot clockwise until fully threaded into the leg.
- Adjust the feet up or down to ensure the table stands evenly and does not wobble.
This step completes the installation of all hardware components.
Final Step: Level and Stabilise the Table (Assembly Complete)
- After installing all shelves and levelling feet, stand the unit upright on the floor.
- If the table feels uneven, adjust the Levelling Feet (B) by rotating them up or down until all four feet rest flat on the floor.
- Continue adjusting until the table stands perfectly level and stable, as shown in the illustration.
- Once balanced, your 3-Tier Side Table assembly is fully complete and ready for use.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
| Table wobbles | Uneven flooring | Adjust levelling feet (B) until stable |
| Shelves feel loose | Bolts not tightened | Re-tighten all M6×30 bolts |

FAQs
1. Why do my storage shelves start to sag over time?
Shelves often sag when they’re carrying more weight than they were designed to support, or when heavy items are placed in the centre instead of near the frame. Humidity and long-term pressure can also weaken certain materials like MDF. Spreading weight evenly and staying within the recommended limits helps prevent sagging.
2. What type of items should i store on open storage shelves?
Open storage shelves are ideal for books, decor pieces, plants, baskets, and everyday essentials you want quick access to. They work well for items that don’t require dust protection and are visually tidy. Avoid placing overly heavy or bulky objects unless the shelves are designed for them.
3. Can storage shelves be used in bathrooms or damp areas?
Some storage shelves can be used in damp areas, but it depends on the material. Metal or coated finishes handle humidity better, while MDF and particleboard may swell or warp. If used in a bathroom, ensure good ventilation and keep the shelves away from direct water exposure.
4. What is the best height for storage shelves in a living space?
The ideal height depends on how you plan to use the shelves and the size of the room. Lower units work well beside seating or under windows, while taller shelves maximise vertical storage without taking up extra floor space. Choose a height that allows comfortable access and doesn’t block light or movement.
