Library frames are very heavy (see product specifications for details). Use extreme
caution and proper equipment when moving these, and ensure that your floor has
adequate structural integrity.
Boxed and unboxed library components weigh from 200 to 400 pounds each (91 to
181 kg) or more. Use extreme caution and proper equipment when moving these.
The ties around the shipping crates are secured very tightly; the tension may cause
them to whip outward when cut. Use care when cutting the ties so that you will not
be hit.
