Usage Features:

Adjustable Shelving: Three of the five shelves are adjustable, allowing users to customize the spacing between shelves to accommodate items of different sizes. Metal pins and rubber sleeves are used to support these adjustable shelves.
Stability Features: The bookcase is designed with a safety bracket (K) that can be fastened to the top of the unit and then into a wall stud using a Black 9/16" Large Head Screw (Q) and a Black 1-7/8" Flat Head Screw (P) for added stability. This is a crucial safety feature to prevent tipping.

Part Identification: A dedicated "PARTS IDENTIFICATION" page helps users distinguish similar parts, noting that not all parts may have labels or inked letters.

Phone support is available Mon-Fri, 9am-5:30pm ET (United States and Canada, except holidays) at 1-800-523-3987.
Replacement Parts: Most replacement parts ship from the facility within one or two business days.

Safety Warnings and Usage Guidelines:

The manual includes a comprehensive "WARNING" section emphasizing correct and safe use to prevent damage or injury.

Overloading: Users must never exceed the specified weight limits for each shelf. Overloaded shelves can break, and top-heavy bookcases are prone to tipping.
Loading Procedure: When loading shelves, users should start from the bottom and work their way up, placing heavier items on the lower shelves to maintain stability.
Moving the Unit: Before moving the bookcase, all shelves should be unloaded from top to bottom. The unit should not be pushed, especially on carpeted floors, and assistance from another person is recommended for lifting and setting it in place.
Children's Safety: Children should not be allowed to climb on the shelves. Items like toys or candy should not be placed on upper shelves, as children may attempt to climb to reach them.
Wall Positioning: The unit must be positioned against a wall, and the supplied safety bracket should be used for added stability.
Hidden Cams: Hidden Cams must be completely tightened (210 degrees rotation) during assembly to prevent loosening and part separation, which could lead to damage or injury.
Back Panel Fastening: The unit should not be stood upright without the back panels (G) securely fastened, as it may collapse. A "spacer" (11/16" rectangle cut from the manual) is provided to ensure correct nail placement for the lower back panel.
Assembly Surface: Assemble the unit on a carpeted floor or the empty carton to avoid scratching the unit or the floor.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Once assembled, the unit can be cleaned with the user's favorite furniture polish or a damp cloth, then wiped dry.
Warranty: A 1-year limited warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship for the original purchaser. The warranty does not cover defects from improper assembly, misuse, abuse, intentional damage, environmental factors (fire, flood), alterations, or inadequate maintenance. Rented products or those purchased "used" or "as is" are not covered. Sauder will repair or replace defective components at its discretion and may require proof of purchase and defect confirmation. The warranty excludes incidental or consequential damages. Warranty claims can be made via the website or phone, and may require written submission with sales receipt and defect description.
