STEP ONE — CHOOSE YOUR POSITION
Select your preferred location for the Kōyō Shelving Unit. Using a spirit level, lightly mark with tape where you plan to hang the shelving unit on the wall as well on the unit itself.
STEP TWO — ADD THREADED RODS
Use M12 Galvanised threaded in-bed steel rods into the wall to hang the floating shelves. You can find your preferred threaded rod at any hardware store. We recommend you drill snug holes into the wall to fit the rods, and drill oversized holes in the KōyōShelving Unit to help align the Kōyō when installing.
STEP THREE —COMPLETE INSTALLATION
Finally, it’s time to place the Kōyō on the wall! This is when a helping hand is needed. Following the steps above, slide the shelving unit onto the rods smoothly!
TIPS
* Try to have the centre of the unit at eye level.
* Allow enough space underneath to display your favourite baskets.
