! For drywall mounting, use anchors with screws.
For stud mounting, use screws only.

1. This shelf comes with a paper template which can be used to
locate the position of the shelf on your wall and mark the insertion
points of the mounting hardware. The template outline indicates
the line of the shelf edge at the wall. The centerpoints are toward
the top of the shelf and indicate the point of insertion for the
drywall anchors and screws.

2. Temporarily tape the template to the wall with the outline
indicating the desired location of the shelf. Use a carpenter’s level
to make sure the shelf edges are level.

3. Using a pin, poke throught the template into the drywall at the
center points to mark the locations on the wall. Remove the
template.

4. For stud mounting, skip to step 5. For drywall mounting: using a
philip's head screwdriver, insert the drywall anchors (A) into the wall
at the insertion points. Turn clockwise until anchors are ush with
the wall.

5. Insert screws (B) into the anchors or directly into studs at the
insertion points, leaving approximately 1/2" between the back of
the screw head and the wall.

6. Align keyhole notches on the back of the shelf over the screw
heads and slide the shelf down until it rests on the screws. Tighten
or loosen screws as needed to t the shelf snugly against the wall.
