When it may not be suitable

This shelf unit is made from particleboard and is intended for indoor, dry environments; it is not suitable for outdoor use or consistently humid areas. It is designed for light to moderate loads on each shelf and is not appropriate for storing very heavy items or industrial equipment.

How to use

Place the shelf unit on a flat, level floor and ensure it is positioned away from direct sources of moisture.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify available floor space and shelf dimensions to ensure the unit fits your intended location
• Consider the typical weight and size of items you plan to store; particleboard supports light to moderate loads

• Allow time for assembly and ensure you have basic tools (screwdriver, hammer) if not included

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the VidaXL shelf unit to display books and decorative items while keeping heavier objects on the lowest shelf and securing the unit to the wall when possible. Regularly clean the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the Sonoma oak grey finish.
