Usage Notes & Installation
Ideal for a system with three components — especially when some are tall units (one shelf has larger height).
Place heavy gear on the bottom shelf; use spikes/discs to protect flooring.
Maintain rear clearance for cable access and ventilation.
Care & Maintenance
Use a soft, dry cloth for the metal parts; avoid moisture or harsh cleaners.
Clean MDF surfaces gently, ensure they are dry. Tighten hardware periodically.
