FAQs
Can I paint this bookcase?
The Havana Lacquer finish is a permanent coating. While you can paint it, it requires significant sanding and priming, which may void your warranty.
What is the weight capacity per shelf?
Each shelf is designed to hold standard household items; however, we recommend avoiding placing extremely heavy machinery or very large dense objects on individual shelves.
Does it need to be anchored to the wall?
For safety, especially in homes with children or pets, it is always recommended to use furniture tipping restraint kits to secure the unit to the wall.
How tall is the Mette Book Case?
Please refer to the specific dimensions provided in the assembly manual, as total height can vary based on the leg adjustment.
Is the back of the bookcase finished?
The bookcase features an open design, making it a great piece for both wall-placement and room-dividing, though it is intended to be seen from the front.
Troubleshooting
Unit feels unstable after assembly
Check all cam locks and screws to ensure they are fully tightened and that the frame is level on the floor.
Visible scratches on the surface
Use a wood furniture touch-up marker that matches the Havana Lacquer color to blend in minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Dorel Home Mette Book Case, ensure you have a clear floor space and a screwdriver set. Follow the included manual to attach the side panels to the shelves, ensuring all cam locks are tightened fully for maximum stability. Regarding compatibility, the unit's Havana Lacquer finish pairs well with neutral palettes, wood-toned furniture, or mid-century modern aesthetics. For care, wipe the unit down periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip or scratch the lacquer finish. If a spill occurs, clean it immediately with a slightly damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
