Usage & Installation Notes
Ideal for mounting turntables or other heavy analog equipment on the wall, particularly where floor space is limited.
Ensure mounting surface is load-bearing (studs, concrete, brick) and use supplied bolts or appropriate alternative fixings. Level shelf via the cones for optimal performance.
Care & Maintenance
Clean the MDF shelf surface with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or standing water. Wipe steel frame gently. Periodically check that the mounting bolts stay tight and that the shelf remains level.
