1. Hold shelf at desired location. With a pencil, mark on wall the top
outside corners of the shelf. These marks will be used to determine
the location of the mounting hardware.

2. Measure down from the top of the shelf to the top of the keyhole
notches. Measure in from the side of the shelf to the top of the
keyhole notches. Record these measurements on the wall, using the
marks in step 1 as a guide. Align the two measurements until they
intersect. This is the insertion point of the mounting hardware. Use
a carpenter's level to ensure the shelf will be level.

3. For stud mounting: skip to step 4. For drywall mounting: using a
Philip's head screwdriver, insert the drywall toggles (A) into the
wall at the insertion points. Press and turn clockwise until toggles
are flush with the wall.

4. Insert screws (B) into the toggles at the insertion points, leaving
approximately 1/2" between the back of the screw head and the wall.

5. Align keyhole notches over the screw heads.

6. Slide the shelf down until it rests on the screws. Tighten or loosen
screws as needed to fit the shelf snugly against the wall.
