Troubleshooting
Shelf is unstable or wobbly.
Check the screws to ensure they are fully tightened. Verify the brackets are securely attached to the wall. Ensure the shelf is level and properly seated on the brackets.
Brackets are not level.
Use a level during installation to ensure brackets are aligned. Re-adjust the brackets and re-tighten the screws.
Weight capacity seems insufficient.
Ensure the weight does not exceed 10KG. Consider the wall type and fixings, and ensure they are appropriate for the load. Distribute the weight evenly across the shelf.
