Steps:
Step 1
Apply finish to the shelf boards before assembly.
Step 2
Set the top and middle shelf to the side. Start by putting together the bottom shelf.
Step 3
Take one of the 10 ½” pipes and attach it to a curved corner pipe by twisting it into the left side of the 10 ½” pipe facing up.
Step 4
Twist to attach the T-connector pipe on the right side of the pipe. Utilize the middle hole of the T-connector when doing so.
Step 5
Take two 1 ⅜” pipes. Attach a bold head to one and a support connector to the other. Place them into the pre-drilled holes on your 13 ¾” wooden shelf. The bottom threads will attach to the piece made in step 4.
Step 6
Align the piece from step 4 with the pipes from step 5. The wooden shelf should be laying in between. Twist to tighten both sides to secure the shelf.
Step 7
Screw a 3 ½” pipe to the bottom of the T-connector on the right side of the shelf. On the left side of the pipe, attach a curved corner pipe facing the wall. Connect a 2 ⅛” pipe with a flange to the end of the curved corner pipe. This will mount on the wall later.
Step 8
Starting on the middle shelf, attach a 4 ⅞” pipe to the top of the support connector. Use a T-connector to attach a 12 ⅜” pipe. On the opposite end, place another T-connector, utilizing the middle hole.
Step 9
On the right side, we will create a wall attachment. Screw a 3 ½” pipe to the bottom of the T-connector. Attach a curved corner pipe facing the wall and connect a 2 ⅛” pipe with a flange on the end, which will mount on the wall later.
Step 10
Grab the 15 ¾” shelf and place a 1 ⅜” pipe into each pre-drilled hole with a support connector on top of each one to hold them in place. Align the shelf with the rest of the assembly and tighten the support connectors. Ensure the 1 ⅜” pipe is tightened on the bottom side.
Step 11
On the top left side of the shelf, twist on a 3 ½” pipe to the support connector. Attach a curved corner pipe facing the wall. Use a 2 ⅛” pipe with a flange on the end, which will be mounted on the wall.
Step 12
Moving to the top shelf, twist a 4 ⅞” pipe to the top of the support connector. On top of this pipe, use a T-connector to attach a 10 ½” pipe. Add a curved corner pipe to the other end.
Step 13
Grab the 13 ¾” wooden shelf and align the pre-drilled holes on top of the pipe assembly. Tighten the shelf by inserting a 1 ⅜” pipe into each pre-drilled hole.
Step 14
On the top left side, attach a support connector. On the top right side, use a bolt head. On the left side of the shelf, we will create the final wall attachment. Twist a 3 ½” pipe onto the top of the support connector. Attach a curved corner pipe facing the wall. Use a 2 ⅛” pipe with a flange on the end.
Step 15
Hold the completed shelf to the wall and make pencil marks in the pre-drilled holes on the flanges.
Step 16
Use these markings and drill holes into the wall.
Step 17
Use a mallet or hammer to insert a screw anchor into each of the holes.
Step 18
Align the shelving to the wall and install using the 1 5/16” screws through each hole on the disk plate.
Step 19
It is complete! This shelf can be mounted parallel to the wall or in the corner of a room by rotating the top or bottom shelf in a 90° angle.
